The Blue and Gold scored 14 of the first 17 points to take an early lead before the Cardinals cut the margin to as little as four points. That's when MU used a 16-4 run to push the lead to a first-half high 16 points, 37-21 with 2:07 to play. Madonna led by double-figures the rest of the night and pushed it to as many as 23, 84-61, on a Noah Campbell 3-pointer.
