The Marquette Golden Eagles were hardly challenged on Tuesday night and celebrated a blowout win over Jackson State.
The Golden Eagles’ 83-54 win over the Tigers of the SWAC improved them to 7-1 on the early season. The Golden Eagles have still yet to allow more than 72 points at any point this season, as the defense under Shaka Smart has been as advertised thus far.
MU held Jackson State to under 35 percent on 2-pointers, under 25 percent on 3-pointers, and the Tigers only mustered 53.3 percent from the free-throw line as well. On the night, Jackson State shot just 30.
