Marquette’s extremely young team with 8 newcomers out of 10 healthy players fell behind Northern Illinois 22-14 in the first quarter. But they clawed back in the second quarter, outscoring Northern Illinois by six to trail by two at halftime. In the third quarter Marquette doubled the points of NIU by 28-14, to take a 12 point lead, which they held in the fourth quarter to win by ten, 75-65.
Coach Krieger used 8 of 10 players for most of the minutes. High scorers were all frosh -- Davenport (15 pts, 6 rebs); Heideman (13 pts, 5 steals); Wilborn (12 pts, 6 rebs, 5 assists, 4 steals); and Blockton (11 pts, 8 rebs). Soph Valentine had 6 pts and 4 rebs); junior Yentz had 3 pts, 3 rebs); frosh King had 7 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assists, 4 steals) and Moskari had 6 pts.
MU shot 30-70, 42.9%; 4-14 threes, 28.6%; 11-17 free throws, 64.7%. MU was outrebounded 44-38, but MU slaughtered NIU off turnovers, 33-14, scored 27-17 off fast break, and MU’s bench slaughtered NIU’s 34-5.
The newcomers are as talented as advertised, and clearly scored and probably will continue to score most of the team’s points.
