It was another “Jaemazing” night as Marquette beats Rutgers 82-65. Senior Jae Crowder scored 27 points and had seven rebounds on the evening and Darius Johnson-Odom had 21 points. Vander Blue also added 10 points.

This win was the fourth straight for the Golden Eagles and they have won 11 of the last 12 games played. They are currently tied for second place with Notre Dame in the Big East. The last three games of the season are crucial because the top four teams in the Big East get a double bye in the Big East tournament.

Rutgers trailed almost the entire game but was able to get the lead down to 58-52 with 11:30 remaining in the second half. Marquette then went on a 12-2 run with a little over seven minuted on the clock. The Scarlet Knights had 23 turnovers and Marquette scored a total of 31 points on those turnovers.

Jerome Seagears had 14 points and Gilvydas Biruta added 12 points for Rutgers. This was the sixth straight loss for the Scarlet Knights.

Marquette is still without Davante Gardner who is sidelines with a sprained knee. There has been no time given for his return.

Tonight the Marquette Golden Eagles will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at the Bradley Center.

Rutgers is coming off a tough loss to Syracuse. Sophomore Gilvydas Biruta had a career-high tying 21 point with seven assists and sophomore Mike Poole had 10 points. Rutgers kept a great pace with Syracuse. There were eight lead changes in the first half along with seven ties. Rutgers was within two point for most of the game until they fell apart in the last few minutes of the game, losing 74-64. This team should not be discounted. They played hard against Syracuse and definitely have the potential to beat a top ranked team.

The Marquette Golden Eagles are coming off a road win over UConn. Big East player of the Week, Jae Crowder scored a career high 29 points with 12 rebounds and three steals. Darius Johnson-Odom added 24 points in the victory. Marquette needs to start strong and stay that way throughout the game. Teams like Rutgers shouldn’t be discounted. They have the potential to upset ranked teams.

Tip-off is at 7:00 pm CST on the Big East Network.
