James and McNeal lead Marquette to crosstown win

Dominic James scored 22 points and backcourt mate Jerel McNeal added 16 to power No. 13 Marquette to a 100-65 rout of cross-town rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Friday night.

Lazar Hayward scored 19 points and David Cubillan 12 for the Golden Eagles (5-1), who looked sharp even though they had been idle since losing to Duke 77-73 on Nov. 21 in the Maui Invitational championship game.

Ricky Franklin scored 14 points and Deion James 10 for the Panthers (3-4), who played a ranked team for the first time this season. They've lost three straight and four of five.

The Panthers hung close to the Golden Eagles early and managed to tie it at 13 with 12:35 left in the first half. But the Golden Eagles went into halftime on a 15-3 run to lead 50-33.
