Head coach Steve Wojciechowski and the Golden Eagles closed the book on their non-conference schedule with a 89-56 blowout over SIU-Edwardsville.
Turnovers plagued the Blue and Gold right away. The team turned the ball over five times in the first eight minutes. Those turnovers barred Marquette from taking the lead until the 10:38 mark.
To make matters worse, a Marquette team that has already been beaten up with injuries had another scare when Duane Wilson injured his ankle early in the first half.
“I just stepped on the guy’s foot as I was coming down, but it’s doing fine,” Wilson said.
