BASELINE: Marquette falls to No.4 UCLA 67-56 in non-conference finale

A cold shooting first half from the Marquette men’s basketball team gives the Golden Eagles their first home loss of the season as they fall 67-56 to No. 4 UCLA Saturday night.

After starting the game 1-for-16 from beyond the arc, the Golden Eagles trailed by as many as 23 points in the first half and couldn’t recover from the early double-digit deficit against the Bruin’s side that reached last season’s Final Four.

Here’s a breakdown of Marquette’s loss:

Game MVP: Jaime Jaquez Jr.

The first-team preseason All-PAC-12 selection posted a season-high 24 points on 7-for-16 shooting from the field.
