WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball team concluded non-conference play with a 79-59 setback at the No. 6 Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday at Mackey Arena.

Marquette's 21 first-half points were its fewest since scoring 20 in a 57-51 loss at Seton Hall on Feb. 14, 2021

Sophomore forward Royce Parham finished with a career-high 19 points for his second-straight double figure game and senior guard Chase Ross chipped in 10 points and has scored 10-or-more in all 11 outings this season.

Marquette opened the second half just 3-of-11 from the floor, while Purdue knocked down eight of its first 12 opportunities to extend the halftime advantage. That trend continued as the half progressed and the Golden Eagles were never able to make a run.
