Marquette bounced from Big East Tourney

March 11, 2011 By

Louisville hit thirteen 3-pointers last night and shot their way past the Marquette Golden Eagles 81-56 in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament.  

It’s the worst loss in Buzz Williams 3-years at Marquette.  The Golden Eagles shot just 29% from the field.  Yet with a pair of Big East Tournament wins, Marquette has still probably done enough to get into the NCAA Tournament. 

Jimmy Butler had 14 points and Darius Johnson-Odom added 13.  The Cardinals got 22 points and six 3-pointers from Mike Marra.

Marquette trailed 44-35 early in the second half before starting their comeback.  The Golden Eagles defense took over as well, holding West Virginia to 22% shooting in the second half.  It’s the second win over the Mountaineers
