Poof....

....and the season ends.   Washington 80, Marquette 78.

Ultimately the Warriors were unable to protect a 15-point second half lead and showed nerves rather than poise down the stretch.  In the game's critical final stages Marquette was no match for the Huskies, committing two turnovers and surrendering five offensive rebounds in the game's final 3:33 (http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/playbyplay?gameId=300770269).   Incredibly, UW only had six offensive rebounds on the night but with the game on the line the Huskies gave no quarter.

Marquette finishes the season with a record of 22-12.  Senior Lazar Hayward led MU with 20 points.  Senior David Cubillan scored 14 points and pulled down eight boards while senior Maurice Acker finished with 13 points and five assists.  Gentlemen, thank you for leading this overachieving bunch to such a memorable season.
