FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) — Davante Gardner scored 20 points and had nine rebounds to lead No. 25 Marquette to a 76-60 victory over George Washington University on Friday in the semifinals of the Wooden Legacy.
Marquette (5-2) used a 12-2 run early in the first half to build a double-digit lead, and never trailed.
The Colonials (5-1) tried to stage a couple of comebacks in the second half but never got any closer than the final 10-point margin.
George Washington hurt itself by shooting just 35 percent from the floor, and making just 15 of 25 free throws.
