Marquette couldn’t stop Villanova from scoring in a 94-70 loss Thursday in the Big East Conference tournament. The Wildcats destroyed the man-to-man defense put up by Marquette, then did the damage from outside when the Golden Eagles went to a zone. Villanova hit 68 percent of its shots in the second half, including 65 percent of its 3-pointers. Markus Howard led the Eagles in scoring with 23. Senior Andrew Rowsey added 22. A win over Villanova would have helped Marquette’s case for an N-C-A-A Tournament berth. Now, the Eagles will have to wait until Selection Sunday to see if they are invited.
