Milwaukee ? Marquette handed Cincinnati its worst loss in five years by beating the Bearcats at their own game.

The Golden Eagles used a tenacious defense and a deliberate, guard-heavy offense to end the nation’s longest winning streak at 20 with a 74-60 rout of the fourth-ranked Bearcats on Saturday.

It was Cincinnati’s largest margin of defeat since a 97-83 loss to South Carolina on Feb. 15, 1997.

Dwyane Wade (25 points), Cordell Henry (20) and Travis Diener (11) accounted for the bulk of the scoring as Marquette (19-3, 8-1 Conference USA) handed the Bearcats (20-2, 8-1) their first loss since their season opener against Oklahoma State.

The game drew a crowd of 18,698 to the Bradley Center, the largest to watch a college basketball game in Wisconsin. After the Golden Eagles dribbled out the clock, the student section emptied onto the floor and carried off Wade.

“We got beat in every way possible, from me on down,” Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins said.
