Villanova opened the game with a 12‑0 run that set the tone, and Marquette never recovered. The Wildcats held a 12‑point lead after the first quarter and never fell below 12 points again, finishing 64‑39. Marquette committed 22 turnovers, nine in the first quarter, and struggled to generate offense in the middle 20 minutes.
The loss leaves Marquette with one home game left before the season ends. They will host Xavier on Wednesday night for Senior Night, with the game on ESPN+ at 6:30 pm Central.
