Marquette loses heartbreaker at the buzzer
Written by: hilltopper91@gmail.com (Kevin Buckley (Hilltopper))
In what would have been the largest comeback in Big East Tournament History, Marquette lost by one point to #5 seeded Villanova, 76-75 on a last second tip-in.
Marquette battled back from a 17 point deficit to take the lead with 90 seconds to play, but couldn't hold on.
Jimmy Butler had a wonderful game, with 19 points and Wes and Lazar snared a double-doubles, but that was not enough to eek out a victory.
Heartbreaking. With the loss of Dominic James .. this season is becoming the year of woulda, coulda. These past 6 games would have been dramatically different with #1 on the court.
Now the waiting begins.
