Marquette started quickly, took a 12-point lead into halftime and held on for a 60-52 win over Butler on Saturday at Fiserv Forum.
The loss is Butler's fifth in a row. The Dawgs fall to 11-13 overall and 3-10 in the Big East. Marquette moves to 19-5 overall and 11-2 in conference.Chuck Harris is Butler's most dynamic scorer. He suffered a concussion after taking a blow to the head last Saturday against Seton Hall and did not play against the Golden Eagles. Without Harris, Butler needed someone to make a contested shot against Marquette's long zone defense.
"I'm not sure I've ever seen s*** like that before in my life," Matta said."You couldn't draw that up. And I made a mistake, I should've had somebody else do something. But no, that was, wow. Marquette had five players score at least eight points against Butler. That type of complete offensive team performance has eluded Butler during its losing skid. Butler won the rebounding battle and did a much better job protecting the paint.
The Perry Meridian grad started the season playing like a potential All-Big East candidate. He averaged 13.4 points per game in 13 starts before moving to the bench. Taylor first gave way to Jalen Thomas and then Ali Ali in the starting lineup. Taylor embraced a gritty sixth-man role, continuing to play tough defense and leading the second unit in scoring. His play against Marquette re-solidified himself as one of Butler's five best players.
