Shooting a lot of 3-pointers was Marquette’s formula for success from last season. That strategy didn’t quite work against Mount St. Mary’s, as the Golden Eagles shot a pedestrian six of 21 from beyond the arc.
The Golden Eagles won, 80-59, and never led by less than double digits after the 6:11 mark of the first half despite its primary mode of offense being stifled. Sixty-two of Marquette’s 80 points came outside of 3-pointers.
“We’ve got a lot of talented guys on the team and a lot of guys that can fill the stat sheet,” redshirt sophomore Sacar Anim said.
