University mens basketball

team makes an early trip to New

York City this season when the team

faces Washington Tuesday night at

Madison Square Garden in the 2011

Jimmy V Classic. The Golden Eagles

and Huskies will play at 8 p.m. CT

time in the second game of a

doubleheader, with fellow BIG EAST member Villanova taking on Missouri to

begin the nights festivities. The Golden Eagles are one of 15 undefeated

teams remaining in the nation through games of Dec. 4 and are looking to

move to 80 for the first time since 200607.

Last Meeting With Huskies Heartbreaker For MUMarquette and Washington have met on just three occasions all time,

but Golden Eagle fans painfully remember the most recent matchup in 2010.

UWs Quincy Pondexters basket with 1.7 seconds left in regulation

proved to be the game winner in an 8078 Washington victory in the

opening round of the NCAA Tournament in San Jose, Calif.

Marquettes Lazar Hayward nearly hit a miraculous halfcourt shot at the

buzzer, but MUs season ended with its 16th game decided by fourorless

points.

Golden Eagles Grind Out Huge Win At Rival WisconsinThe Golden Eagles were able to claim an important 6154 victory at Wisconsin

Saturday afternoon, with the final box score indicating just how difficult the win was to

earn.

Marquette shot just 38.3 percent from the floor, including 18.2 percent from behind

the 3point line, and turned the ball over 13 times while collecting just seven assists. MUwas also in foul trouble the entire evening and playing without starting point guard Junior

Cadougan. Senior Jae Crowder was also limited to just two points on four shot attempts

MUs defensive effort, which allowed the Badgers to shoot just 32.0 percent from the

floor for the game, was the key to victory. Marquette held UW to just 26.1 percent from

the floor in the opening half and collected 10straight stops down the stretch to help

secure the win.

Depth Providing Options For Coaching StaffHead coach Buzz Williams and his staff have assembled the deepest roster during his

tenure and the fourthyear head coach is utilizing all of his options.

The win over Wisconsin was a perfect example, where all 10 of the teams active play

ers saw at least seven minutes of action. All but one player (Derrick Wilson) scored at

least two points in the victory and each individual grabbed at least one rebound. Starting

point guard Junior Cadougan missed the game due to a violation of team rules, making

contributions from the bench even more important.

Marquettes bench outscored Wisconsin 3211, thanks in large part to Todd Mayos 14

points. Through the first seven games of the season, 10 of the 11 eligible players on the

roster are averaging at least 10.0 minutes per game and no player has been on the court

for more than 29 minutes per outing.

Anderson Picks Critical Time To Make ImpactFreshman forward Juan Anderson entered Saturdays game at Wisconsin in possession

of just seven career minutes in two appearances with the Golden Eagles.

The Oakland, Calif., native chipped in five rebounds in just seven minutes of action

against the Badgers, including three in the second half as MU held off a UW rally.Anderson also netted his first career points with a reverse layup at the 8:17 mark to

extend Marquettes slim advantage to 4540.

Anderson was slowed in the preseason by a foot injury and missed the first three

games of the season due to an NCAA violation for accepting Milwaukee Brewers tickets

from someone other than his parents/guardians.

Offensive Attack Clicking Early In 2011-12Marquettes offensive attack has been in midseason form

early in 201112 and as a result the Golden Eagles rank among

the nations best in several statistical categories.

Among the 16 BIG EAST programs, MU ranks first or sec

ond in a total of five offensive statistics, including scoringoffense (1st, 84.1 ppg.) and field goal percentage (1st, .509).

The Golden Eagles are also well represented (see graphic) in

the national statistics (through games of Dec. 4).

A total of seven players are contributing at least five points per game in MUs balanced

attack and five players are shooting 50 percentorbetter from the field on the season.

Marquettes defensive effort has been equally impressive, ranking ninth nationally in

field goal percentage defense (.349), through games of Dec. 4 and 10th, in opponent

points per possession (0.82).

Free Throw Line Continues To Provide AdvantageThe ability to consistently get to the free throw line, as well as convert on those

opportunities, has been a focus since fourthyear head coach Buzz Williams took over.

The focus has been evident early in 201112, where once again the Golden Eagles

have made more free throws (136) than their opponents have attempted (114). As a

result, MU is outscoring opponents by an average of nearly nine points per game (19.4

10.6) from the line. The victory over Ole Miss provided a perfect example. MU finished

33of43 from the line and the Rebels were just 13of21 from the charity stripe.

Since the start of the 200809 season, Marquette is 1,938of2,696 (71.9 percent)

from the free throw line and opponents are 1,255of1,874 (67.0 percent).

Blue Provides All-Around Contribution In Two VictoriesSophomore Vander Blue scored just three points in the victory over Jacksonville on

Nov. 28, but may have been the most important Golden Eagle on the floor.

The Madison, Wis., native started and played just 24 minutes, but found enough time

to chip in a careerhigh seven assists and matched personal bests with nine rebounds and

four steals. Blue finished 1of2 from the field and for the season is shooting 51.2 per

cent (22of43) from the field and is third on the roster in scoring (10.7 points per game)

Blue followed that performance up with a ninepoint, eightrebound effort in 33 min

utes at Wisconsin. Three of his boards came at the offensive end in his 33 minutes of

action. In the last two games he is averaging 6.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0

steals per outing.

Mayo Provides Instant Offense

Freshman guard Todd Mayo has made the most of his 17.4 minutes per game early in201112 and is currently fourth on the team in scoring with 9.6 points per game.

The Huntington, W.V., native has scored a personalbest 14 points in each of the last

two games, which included a seasonhigh 24 minutes of action at Wisconsin. For the sea

son he is averaging one shot attempt per just over two minutes and is connecting on 46.9

percent of his shots from the field and 82.4 percent from the charity stripe. His break

away dunk against the Badgers sealed the victory for Marquette.

Wilson Quietly Goes About His WorkFreshman guard Derrick Wilson has yet to provide significant statistical contributions

through his first seven collegiate games, but his efforts on the court have been vital to

the teams success in 201112.

Serving as the primary backup for point guard Junior Cadougan, Wilson has turned

the ball over on just two occasions this season while running MUs potent offensive

attack. He has played a total of 104 minutes (14.9 minutes per night) and taken a tota

of just three shots. Wilson also owns six assists and four steals in his limited action.

He made his first career start at rival Wisconsin and collected a pair of rebounds in 20

minutes. His defense on UWs Jordan Taylor played a key role in the MU victory.

MU Collects Program First With Potent AttackMarquettes 59 points in the championship game of the Paradise Jam win over

Norfolk State not only marked the lowest total for the team through five games in 2011

12, it was the first time the squad failed to score at least 90 points.

The Golden Eagles entered the title outing having reached the 90point plateau in

each of the first four games, marking the first occasion in program history MU had post

ed fourconsecutive games with over 90 points on the scoreboard.

In its 95year history, MU has posted threestraight games of at least 90 points on sev

eral occasions, most recently to begin the 200809 campaign, the first season under head

coach Buzz Williams.

Offense & Defense Lead MU To Paradise Jam TitleMarquette claimed its first tournament victory of any kind since the 200607 cam

paign (CBE Classic), when the squad captured the 2011 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam

championship with a 5957 win over Norfolk State on Nov. 21.

In the three games in St. Thomas, Marquette averaged 83.3 points per game and shot

50.0 percent from the floor. Three players averaged double figures in points, led by

Darius JohnsonOdoms 20.0 points per game clip.

MUs defensive efforts were just as impressive, holding opposing shooters to a com

bined 35.6 percent effort from the field overall and a 28.6 percent effort from behind the

3point line. As a result, Winthrop, Ole Miss and NSU averaged just 65.3 points per out

ing.The Golden Eagles defeated Duke in the 2006 CBE Classic title game.

Johnson-Odom, Crowder Earn Island AccoladesSenior guard Darius JohnsonOdom was named the MVP of the 2011 U.S. Virgin

Islands Paradise Jam and classmate Jae Crowder was named to the alltourney squad

after both players helped Marquette to the championship.

JohnsonOdom averaged 20.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in the three games,

shooting 51.6 percent from the floor and 75.9 percent from the free throw line. Crowder

posted game averages of 16.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per outing and con

nected on 55.9 percent of his shots from the field and 75.0 percent from the charity

stripe.

Crowder Looking For Norfolk State On Schedule AgainWhile a scheduling quirk allowed the Golden Eagles the rare occasion to face Norfolk

State twice in a week, senior forward Jae Crowder might be looking for another matchup

in 201112.

The Villa Rica, Ga., native averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0

steals per game in the two outings and shot 55.2 percent from the floor. He posted adoubledouble in each of the two contests in an average of 29.5 minutes per game on the

court. Crowder finished with 25 points and 10 boards in the first matchup and chipped

in 14 points and 11 rebounds in the championship game.

Season Opener Provides Plethora Of NotesMarquettes seasonopening 54point win over Mount. St. Marys was significant for

a number of reasons besides the final margin of victory. Several individual and team

accomplishments of note were collected.

The 54point triumph over the Mountaineers is Marquettes largest margin of vic

tory since MUs 10449 win (55 points) over Prairie View A&M on Dec. 6, 1996.

Led by 14 points each by Jae Crowder and Chris Otule, six players scored in double

figures for Marquette for the first time since last seasons 8969 win over Green Bay (No.

17, 2010) at the Bradley Center.

Each of the 10 players to see action for MU contributed at least one point and one

rebound. The last time every player to see the court chipped in came Feb. 2, 2011 in a

7570 loss at Villanova.

Marquettes 54point margin of victory was the largest in a season opener since MU

downed Milwaukee Teachers College 8328 (55 point margin) to begin the 194445 cam

paign.

Marquettes 19 steals established a new singlegame team record at the Bradley

Center, led by four steals apiece from Jae Crowder and Vander Blue.

Marquette improves to 8015 (.842) in season openers with Fridays victory. MU has

won 11 consecutive season openers and 12 of its last 13.

Cadougan Doubles Up In Box ScoreJunior guard Junior Cadougan collected his second career doubledouble in the sea

son opener, finishing with 10 points and 10 assists in just 24 minutes as the teams start

ing point guard.

The Toronto, Ontario, native shot 4of9 from the floor and also found time to grab

two rebounds and create two steals. His 10 helpers tied a career high for Cadougan, who

also posted the same numbers in the squads win over Providence on Feb. 27, 2011.

Marquette Picked Sixth In Preseason PollThe Golden Eagles were picked sixth in the annual BIG EAST Conference Preseason

Coaches Poll, receiving 155 total points. Connecticut and Syracuse share the top spot

with 209 points, followed by Louisville (201), Pittsburgh (188) and Cincinnati (169).

In 201011, Marquette was picked eighth in the preseason poll and ended up the regular season owning a share of ninth place overall (11th seed in league tourney), but did

advance to the programs 14th Sweet 16 appearance in school history.

Two words have served asthe foundation for fourth-yearhead coach Buzz Williamsprogram at MarquetteUniversity since he was offi-cially hired on April 8, 2008 Character Revealed.

Because of the values andwork ethic contained within that philosophy, the Golden Eagleswere able to add Sweet Sixteen in 2010-11 as another two-word extension to the squads impressive list of accomplish-ments during his tenure.

Williams has guided Marquette to three-straight NCAAChampionship appearances (six overall), including the pro-grams 14th participation in the regional semifinals last season.Continuing the Universitys proud tradition of success on thecourt, MU has remained a fixture in the national rankings,claimed wins over multiple nationally ranked teams and been

extremely competitive in the BIG EAST Conference. Thesquad has also ramped up its community service efforts underWilliams guidance and collected academic recognition sincehe assumed the reigns of the program prior to the 2008-09campaign.

Marquette claimed 22 victories in 2010-11, including aroad victory at eventual national champion Connecticut and aquarterfinal appearance in the league tourney, en route to beingtabbed a No. 11 seed in the NCAAs. The Golden Eagles post-ed upset wins over No. 6 seed Xavier and No. 3 seed Syracuseto claim a spot in the round of 16, which marked the furthest theteam had advanced since 2003. Senior forward Jimmy Butlergarnered all-conference accolades for the second-straight yearand junior guard Darius Johnson-Odom earned a spot on the

All-BIG EAST Second Team. MU also concluded the yearranked nationally in the top-25 poll thanks to its NCAA run.

The team's character was tested from start to finish in2009-10, beginning with low preseason expectations from

national pundits and concluding with a heartbreaking postsea-son loss. No team in the nation played in more one-possessiongames than MU, but that didn't stop the squad from collectingthe program's fifth-straight NCAA Championship appearanceand 20-win season. Marquette finished 22-12 overall, includingan 11-7 mark in the BIG EAST Conference, which was goodenough for fifth-place in the 16-team league.

Lazar Hayward (Second Team All-BIG EAST) finishedsecond all-time in scoring at MU and four of the program's top-10 all-time scorers have graduated within the past three sea-sons. Junior forward Jimmy Butler was one of the mostimproved players in the country and as a result was tabbedhonorable mention all-league.

Williams directed MU to a 25-10 overall record in 2008-09,which included a school-record 12 BIG EAST victories. TheGolden Eagles advanced to the second round of the NCAAChampionship and were ranked among the nation's top-25teams the entire campaign. A pair of players, Jerel McNeal and

Wesley Matthews, claimed all-league accolades and McNealalso earned All-America honors.Off the court, Williams and his staff assembled a consen-

sus top-25 recruiting class in each of the first two years of histenure, including a group rated as high as No. 1 in the countryby HoopScoopOnline.com (2008-09).The program's community service efforts have also reachednew heights under Williams, highlighted by "Buzz's Bunch."This group, founded by Williams, focuses on providing oppor-tunities for special needs children to attend games and summercamps.

rience at theNCAA Division Ilevel. Williamshas recruited andcoached over 20players who haveearned all-confer-ence accolades, including one league player of the year, twoconference freshmen of the year and two Associated Press All-

Americans (McNeal and Hayward).Williams arrived in Milwaukee after serving for one season

as the head coach at the University of New Orleans. He guid-ed the Privateers to a 14-win campaign in 2006-07 and his ros-ter featured Bo McCalebb, the Sun Belt Conference Player ofthe Year. UNO claimed fourth place in the Sun Belt's WesternDivision and advanced to the league tournament quarterfinals.The squad claimed as many victories on the road that seasonas it had in the previous three seasons combined.

ing class for the 2007-08 season was ranked in the top-50nationally by HoopScoopOnline.com.Prior to UNO, Williams served as an assistant coach and

recruiting coordinator at Texas A&M for two seasons (2004-05/2005-06) under head coach Billy Gillispie. Both of his recruit-ing classes with the Aggies were ranked among the best in thenation and featured some of the top-ranked talent at the preplevel. The squad made its first NCAA Tournament appearancein 25 years in 2005-06 and the previous team posted the topturnaround in the nation, improving its win total in 2004-05 by14 games compared to 2003-04.
