Marquette rides hot start versus NC Central in final home non-conference action of the season

The Marquette Golden Eagles shined brighter and flew higher than the NC Central Eagles Tuesday night in Fiserv Forum on their way to a 90-78 victory.

“Really was impressed by the way our guys started the game, getting their hands on the basketball,” head coach Shaka Smart. “(I) thought our guys shared the ball terrific in the first half. We turned the ball over too much in the first half and the second half which combined with the free throw shooting, to me is just a matter of sharpening focus.”

In the game Marquette had 16 turnovers which was the same amount that NC Central had on the other side.
