Marquette’s Gardner won’t be suspended

January 30, 2013 By

In #25 Marquette’s 63-50 victory over South Florida Monday, Golden Eagles Junior Davante Gardner was ejected from the game after receiving a flagarant-2 foul when his elbow connected with a South Florida player.  Marquette was informed Tuesday that there would be no further discipline for Gardner.

Marquette is out to a 6-1 start in the Big East which has them tied on top of the standings with #6 Syracuse.  If Gardner would have been suspended, he would have missed a big match-up for them.  The Golden Eagles are at #12 Louisville.

Gardner leads the Golden Eagles in rebounds per game (5.5) and is second on the team in points (12.7) and blocks (0.8) per contest.

Marquette’s “Bat” becomes famous (AUDIO)

January 28, 2013 By

The Marquette Golden Eagles Men’s Basketball team defeated Providence 81-71 Saturday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.  The story of the game wasn’t Marquette moving to 14-4 overall and 5-1 in Big East play.  Nor was it Junior Cadougan leading four Golden Eagles in double-figures with 15-points.  The big story was a “bat” that made an appearance.

The bat made several passes near the court causing many delays in the game as players and coaches searched for cover.  The story hit the headlines in numerous sports outlets including Sports Center, USA Today and even Deadspin.  The bat also has its own Twitter handle (@Bradleycntrbat). Marquette Head Coach Buzz Williams joked about the situation after the game:

It wasn’t the first time a bat was loose in a Wisconsin sports venue. The Green Bay Gamblers faced a bat in the Resch Center which created some controversy back in 2009.

There is no word if the bat will be in attendance tonight as the Golden Eagles host South Florida for an 8 pm tip-off.

Marquette gets overtime win at Pittsburgh

January 13, 2013 By

The Marquette Golden Eagles needed overtime to beat the Pittsburgh Panthers 74-67 Saturday night.  With the road win over Pitt, the Golden Eagles join seventh-ranked Syracuse and third-ranked Louisville as the only undefeated teams in Big East play.

While Marquette led for a majority of the game, the lead rarely grew beyond six points, which allowed Pitt to get back into the game late.

With 1.2 seconds remaining and Pitt down by three, Panther Lamar Patterson drilled the game-tying three pointer to send it into overtime.

But in overtime, Marquette jumped out to a 8-2 run and the Panthers never got closer than 6-points the rest of the way.

Vander Blue led the Golden Eagles (12-3, 3-0) in scoring with 22 points, and was one of four players in double figures.  Davante Gardner added 13, Jamil Wilson knocked down 11 points, and Todd Mayo had 10.

Lamar Patterson had 22 points to lead Pittsburgh.

Marquette returns to action Wednesday at home against Seton Hall.
