Marquette falls short; season and era end

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Tim Blair)

What if......

Marquette's dreams of the Sweet 16 ended this afternoon with an 83-79 loss to the Missouri Tigers.   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, 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.
