Yes, indeed. In their first game of the Big East Tournament today, Marquette defeated St. Johns by the score of 74-45. Honestly, the game wasn't even that close. The final five on the floor for the last three minutes? Frozena, Otule, Fulce, Butler, and Cubillan... that's how far ahead Marquette was....

Back-to-back conference losses quickly ended the burgeoning euphoria over Marquette's 9-0 start in BIG EAST conference action.

In comparison to the season average (1.14 points per possession), Marquette's offense actually wasn't all that off. Yes, Villanova hit an effective field goal percentage of 6...

Tonight at Villanova, the multi-talented McNeal could do just that. The 6'3" senior guard needs 21 points to break ...
