Marquette (Scott Monarch) (3-0) vs. Milwaukee

Jerel McNeal had 22 points and five steals and Dominic James added 16 and eight assists for the Golden Eagles (3-0), who have won all 36 meetings between the two schools which are separated by four miles. The winning streak is the second-longest active stretch against one opponent – Syracuse has beaten Colgate 42 straight times.

Tennessee Tech (Steve Payne) (3-0) vs. Southern Utah

Junior Will Barnes hit one free throw with six seconds left to give the Tennessee Tech men’s basketball team a one point lead, and the Golden Eagles held on to claim a 69-68 non-conference win over Southern Utah as senior Daniel Northern blocked a last-ditch shot by the Thunderbirds to preserve the margin. Northern’s fourth block of the night thwarted the Thunderbirds (1-2), who had covered the length of the court before the buzzer.

Louisiana-Lafayette (Robert Lee) (0-3) @ Utah Valley

Utah Valley began the second half shooting 8-of-9 from the field to spark a 22-4 run which helped the hosts extend an 11-point halftime lead and coast to a 71-41 victory over Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball team here Saturday evening at the McKay Center. La’Ryan Gary made a layup with 18:57 remaining to trim the Cajuns deficit to 36-24. Turnovers and missed shots kept the Cajuns off the board and UVU rattled off 13 consecutive points to put the game out of reach at 49-24 with 14:47 left to play.

Bowling

Michael Wolfe managed to outlast a first-of-its-kind weeklong shootout to be crowned the Ultimate Scoring Champion at Taylor Lanes, the fifth stop on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour which was taped on Nov. 16 and aired on ESPN on Nov. 23.
