The Marquette Golden Eagles fell to the Florida Gators, 82-49.

Vander Blue scored a game high of 20 points but was the only player to score in double digits.

Marquette looked very flat during the game and failed to get shots to drop. In the first half, Marquette went cold at the 6:53 mark and got shut out in the second half at the 4:53 mark to get blown out.

Florida had six players scoring in double figures and dominated the floor.

Hopefully Marquette can bounce back from this loss in the next game.
