Markus Howard scored 17 points and Brendan Bailey added 16 to lead a balanced Marquette attack Sunday as the Golden Eagles dumped No. Koby McEwen chipped in 16 points for Marquette (17-6, 7-4), which jumped into a three-way for second place in the conference with Creighton and Villanova. It was the sixth win in seven games for the Golden Eagles, who hit 11 of 24 3-pointers and went 21-for-28 at the foul line. It took Marquette just 19 seconds to set a tone for the day’s remainder, with McEwen popping a 3-pointer to initiate scoring. While Butler owned a narrow lead for most of the first 10 minutes, the Golden Eagles took control shortly thereafter.
