Re: Marquette Golden Eagles (CH2k5)
In the second round of the NCAA Tournament, two Conference USA teams squared off with the winner going to the Sweet 16. These two teams were the athletic UAB Blazers and the sharpshooting, fifth ranked, first seeded Marquette Golden Eagles.
From the get-go, this one was closer than close. The teams exchanged buckets the first several times up and down the court, and Marquette looked to be in big trouble when Travis Diener got into early foul trouble. The Blazers pulled away for awhile, but the Golden Eagles pulled to within two at halftime.
When Diener came back for the second half, the Blazers were the ones in trouble. He hit a couple of threes right off the bat, and sparked a huge Marquette run that put them in front of UAB. The Golden Eagles hung on, winning 67-60.
