Marquette asserted its claim for the coveted top spot in college basketball after a decisive triumph against Kansas last night at the Maui Invitational.
The Golden Eagles emerged triumphant with a 73-59 victory in a spirited contest from start to finish.
Oso Ighodaro played a pivotal role for Marquette, contributing 21 points and 9 rebounds, while Chase Ross and Kameron Jones added 12 and 10 points, respectively.
Buoyed by this significant win, Marquette now has the opportunity to further solidify its standing as they prepare to face the second-ranked Purdue later today in Maui.
