Juan Anderson added 16 points, seven rebounds and four steals, and Marquette (1-0) immediately showed some tendencies its new coach displayed when he was a tenacious guard at Duke in the 1990s. The Golden Eagles, previously coached by Buzz Williams from 2008-14, posted 19 assists and 12 steals while forcing a pesky UT Martin team into 19 turnovers.

Deville Smith had 12 points and three rebounds, and Twymond Howard added 11 and four for the Skyhawks, who trailed 38-30 at the half. UT Martin (0-1) outrebounded Marquette 34-25, but shot just 57.7 percent from the free-throw line in dropping the debut of its new coach, Heath Schroyer.

Point guard Matt Carlino, a transfer from BYU who has drawn comparisons to Wojciechowski, was sharp in his Marquette debut. He finished with 11 points, seven assists and a steal.

Sandy Cohen, a freshman forward and ballyhooed recruit who gets to play in his home state of Wisconsin, also got off to a decent start for Marquette. He went 3-of-5 from the field, drained two 3-pointers and finished with eight points, three rebounds and a steal.

GAME NOTEBOOK: This was the first of eight road contests in the Skyhawks’ first nine games. … Marquette snapped a four-game losing streak dating back to last season, when the Golden Eagles fell to Villanova, Providence, St. John's, and Xavier to end the year. … Carlino averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds in his final season at BYU.
