Behind a first half explosion from senior center Luke Fischer, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles withstood a lame and boring second half on their way to a 101-79 victory over Houston Baptist on Saturday night.
Fischer had 17 points and eight rebounds in just 11 first half minutes to power MU out to a 56-33 lead at the break. Marquette led by as many as 26 early in the second half, but HBU wobbled that down to 17 points on a jumper from Josh Ibarra with 8:38 left in the second half.
