Miletic scored 7 of his game-high 24 points in the first quarter to go along with 10 rebounds and 4 assists as the Mustangs went on an 8-point run to lead 16-8 after one quarter and 27-19 at halftime.
"Going back to last year when we had the MSL championship game against them we knew we had to come out strong in that second half, and me and the guys continued to echo that," said Miletic, who spoke with visiting Marquette coach Shaka Smart after the game.
"So we took the initiative to really put that game away, and that's exactly what we did by executing our game plan overall. We took care of what we needed to do to get some stops and set the tone to slow these guys down and allow us to get into transition."
