BASELINE: Morsell erupts for a career-high 26 points, leads Marquette to 2-0 start

Marquette men’s basketball improves to 2-0 on the young season after edging out the University of New Hampshire Wildcats 75-70 Nov. 12 at Fiserv Forum.

Here’s a breakdown of Friday night’s contest:

Game MVP: Darryl Morsell

For the second-straight game, Morsell recorded a career-high in points. This time, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year put on another shooting clinic as he posted 26 points on an efficient 8-for-12 shooting from the field which included going 3-for-5 from the 3-point line.

“Darryl’s just a leader, he’ll do anything he needs to do to help us win and tonight we needed him to score and that’s exactly what he did,” redshirt first-year Oso Ighodaro said.
