MU seeded sixth, to face Utah State


Mar. 15, 2009 5:21 p.m.  




Despite closing the season having lost seven of their last 11 games, the Marquette Golden Eagles will be seeded sixth and play 11th-seeded Utah State on Friday in Boise, Idaho in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The NCAA tournament selection committee did not penalize MU (24-9) as heavily as some might have thought, likely because three of the Golden Eagles' four losses down the stretch were to No. 1-seeds Connecticut, Louisville and Pittsburgh.

Utah State is 30-4 overall, and winner of the WAC Tournament.

I'm at the MU Annex now, and will have some quotes from coach Buzz Williams and the players shortly.
