TOP 25 ROUNDUP \ Monday’s games


MEN

Louisville 71, No. 16 Marquette 57

MILWAUKEE — Marquette still hasn’t figured out Louisville’s defense. Edgar Sosa scored 18 points, Jerry Smith added 12 and the Cardinals locked up the Golden Eagles again, snapping Marquette’s 14-game home winning streak. The Golden Eagles (16-5, 6-4) shot 32 percent from the field. In their previous matchup last month, Louisville dominated 71-51 in Freedom Hall by holding Marquette to 30.4 percent shooting. Already the last team to beat Marquette in the Bradley Center, Louisville (17-6, 7-3 Big East) didn’t have nearly as tough a time as last year when Smith, from the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa, made a 3-pointer at the buzzer for a two-point victory. On Monday night, the Cardinals looked well rested after their easiest win in their short Big East history, 87-50 over Rutgers on Saturday, and jumped all over their former Conference USA rival from the start. Marquette came in with a three-game winning streak that including its first conference road win of the season at Cincinnati on Saturday. But it trailed by nine early and never made a run, stifled by its inability to make shots.
