No. 10 Marquette aims to avoid letdown vs. Stonehill

After consecutive victories over touted opponents, No. 10 Marquette will have to avoid a letdown against visiting Stonehill in a nonconference matchup Wednesday night in Milwaukee. Marquette, 6-0 for the first time since 2011-12, is coming off an 80-69 victory over Georgia on Saturday in the Bahamas. The Golden Eagles' victory versus the Bulldogs came after a win earlier in the week against previously undefeated Purdue, which then dropped seven spots to No. 13. David Joplin netted a career-high 29 points to help Marquette hand Georgia its first loss of the season. The Golden Eagles led by just one at the break, but opened the second half with a 19-5 run.
