Not every “buy game” goes according to plan, but Marquette’s Wednesday night showdown with Western Carolina certainly did. The Golden Eagles took command early with an 11-3 run to start the game and they never looked back, demolishing the Catamounts 90-44.
Strong all-around play put Marquette up 56-18 in the first half.
“Our guys came really ready to play,” Wojciechowski said. “Played an outstanding first half. Obviously people are going to point to the shooting numbers which were really good in the first half, but I thought our activity defensively, we got a ton of deflections and I thought we really gave a solid effort on the defensive end of the floor.
