Marquette needed a big win and they got it on Thursday night with a 74-67 overtime victory over No. 14 Connecticut.

Darius Johnson-Odom scored nine of his 17 points in overtime to lead the Golden Eagles over the Huskies, who played without coach Jim Calhoun on the bench in Hartford.

"This was just another game," Johnson-Odom said when asked about how big this game was coming in. "I don't know anything about our hopes for the tournament or whatnot. All we can do is keep playing, finish the season out and see what happens at the end."
