Kam Jones and David Joplin also scored in double figures as the Golden Eagles, picked ninth out of 11 teams in the Big East preseason poll, secured their school-record-tying 28<sup>th<\/sup> win of the season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m a history guy, so just thinking about all the great players that have played [at Madison Square Garden], all the great moments that have been here,&#8221; Smart said. &#8220;And I think for these guys, getting that experience, there&#8217;s nothing like going and doing something together in a special place and then having that in your pocket for the rest of your life.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">Marquette put the competitive nature of this game to bed within the first five minutes, scoring 21 of the game&#8217;s first 25 points in opening up a 21-4 lead. The Golden Eagles&#8217; lead never dropped before single digits after that opening run, and a Joplin three-pointer midway through the second half saw Marquette doubling up the overmatched Musketeers at 54-27.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">&#8220;I thought tonight there are times when [Marquette&#8217;s] effort level and their quickness, their togetherness, their communication, it was like there were six players on defense against us,&#8221; Xavier head coach Sean Miller said. &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t get a good shot, and that is to their credit. They have a program. They have depth. They have spirit. They have communication.
