Villanova jumped to an early 14-2 lead with a 12-0 run and never looked back, maintaining at least a 12-point lead after halftime. Despite allowing Villanova to shoot under 50% in all but the first quarter, Marquette's offense struggled throughout, particularly with 22 turnovers that prevented any comeback attempt.
The Golden Eagles kept it competitive against #1 UConn eight days prior but had no answers for Villanova on Sunday. Marquette will host Xavier on Wednesday for their final home game of the season.
