Marquette keeps dancing (Audio)

March 29, 2013 By Bill Scott

The Marquette Golden Eagles built an early double-digit lead and never looked back as they topped Miami 71-61 in the East Regional Semifinals of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament Thursday night in Washington D.C.  After leading 29-16 at the half, the closest the game ever got was ten, the final margin.

Jamil Wilson had 16-points to lead the Golden Eagles.  Vander Blue and Davante Gardener added 14-each while Trent Lockett chipped in with 8-points and 11-boards.  After the game, Head Coach Buzz Williams was proud of his team’s effort…

In the regular season, Marquette was able to capture their first ever Big East Championship.  They finished in a tie with Louisville and Georgetown thus earning the 3-seed in the conference tournament based on tie-breakers.  However, the Golden Eagles lost to Notre Dame in their only game and some wrote them off.  Williams points to that as being a turning point…

Next up for the Golden Eagles is a match-up with Big East rival Syracuse.  The Orange upset Indiana Thursday 61-50 preventing a Tom Cream-Marquette contest.  The Golden Eagles and Orange played only once in the regular season, a 74-71 Marquette win at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.  Saturday’s tip from Washington D.C is scheduled for 3:30.
