One year after finishing 241st in the nation in defensive effective field goal percentage, Marquette returned to its old habits, allowing 57 percent shooting in its 86-71 loss to 19th-ranked Purdue.
Haas scores at will
Marquette struggled to find an answer for Purdue center Isaac Haas, allowing the 7-foot-2 big man to put up 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting from the field and 6-for-6 shooting from the charity stripe.
When the Golden Eagles started double-teaming Haas in the second half, the Boilermakers burned MU from outside. After missing all five three-point attempts in the opening stanza, Purdue shot a respectable 71 percent from the perimeter.
