MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wilson grad Stevie Mitchel scored a career-high 21 points and Kam Jones had 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists as No. 15 Marquette defeated No. 6 Purdue 76-58 on Tuesday night to snap the Boilermakers’ 39-game regular-season nonconference winning streak.
Purdue (4-1) hadn’t lost a regular-season nonconference game since falling 58-54 at Miami on Dec. 8, 2020, compiling the fourth-longest such streak in NCAA history. The record is held by Syracuse, which won 52 straight nonconference regular-season games from Dec. 17, 2008, through Dec. 17, 2012.
Jones’ triple-double was the third in school history and first since Dwyane Wade had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists when Marquette beat Kentucky 83-69 in a 2003 regional final to earn its most recent Final Four appearance.
Marquette’s only other triple-double came from Tony Miller against Wisconsin on Dec. 31, 1994.
Chase Ross had 12 and Ben Gold added 11 for the Golden Eagles (5-0).
Trey Kaufman-Renn had 16 points, Fletcher Loyer 13 and Braden Smith 11 for Purdue.
Mitchell is Wilson’s all-time leading scorer and is a senior for Marquette.
