Efficient offense has No. 16 Marquette chasing league title

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Marquette is tied for second place in the Big East, just a game behind No. 13 Xavier after getting picked by the league's coaches to finish ninth out of 11 teams. The 16th-ranked Golden Eagles visit DePaul on Saturday. Marquette is winning with a ruthlessly effective offense. The Golden Eagles are making a remarkable 60.6% of their two-point shot attempts. Point guard Tyler Kolek ranks second in Division I in asssist-turnover ratio and third in assists per game.
