Marquette falls short; season and era end

What if......
Marquette's dreams of the Sweet 16 ended this afternoon with an 83-79 loss to the Missouri Tigers (http://espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=294000010&confId=100). After storming back from 16 down the Warriors saw a late lead slip away in the game's waning moments when they committed both a shot clock violation and critical turnover in the final 90 seconds of play.
Jerel McNeal led MU with 30 points (http://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=294000010), tying a career high he established in last season's tournament loss to the Stanford Cardinal. Wesley Matthews added 24 points and 7 rebounds, while Lazar Hayward was good for 13 points and 12 boards. Dominic James hit the floor for MU though he didn't score. Dwight Burke finished his MU career with 5 points and 9 rebounds.
Seniors, thank you.
