[February 25, 2012]  MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Marquette leading scorer Darius Johnson-Odom is among four Golden Eagles players disciplined for the game at West Virginia for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Marquette spokesman Scott Kuykendall says starters Johnson-Odom, Junior Cadougan and Vander Blue were benched for the first half Friday night. Todd Mayo was ordered to sit out the second half due to a similar violation.

Jamail Jones was given his first start of the season, while Derrick Wilson and Mayo each got their second start.

Marquette entered with wins in four straight games and 11 of 12 overall.
