Sophomore point guard Junior Cadougan led Marquette with 15 points and five assists in a 67-61 win over West Virginia at the Big East Championship on Wednesday. Darius Johnson-Odom scored 11 points and Davante Gardner added 10 off the bench. Next up for Marquette is Louisville, who came back from 18 down with less than six minutes to go to beat the Golden Eagles on Jan. 15.
As Marquette gets further along in the Big East Championship, as well as in the NCAA Tournament next week, they'll need consistent contributions from the bench. Cadougan and Gardner combining for 25 points played a major roles in their win on Wednesday.
