Hauser was 10-of-15 shooting and tied his career best with nine rebounds. Marquette (4-2) never trailed after Hauser's sixth 3-pointer opened overtime.

The Panthers twice trimmed their deficit to one point, the last coming when Ray Crossland was fouled as he hit a 3-pointer and the ensuing free throw made it 82-81 with 14 seconds left. Hauser and Markus Howard, who finished with 14 points, each hit 2 of 2 free throws from there to seal it.
Jajuan Starks had a career-high 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds for Eastern Illinois. Goodwin and Muusa Dama added 12 points apiece and Terrell Lewis tied his career best with 10 assists.
