Marquette pulled off an astonishing win on Wednesday night.
The Golden Eagles knocked off the North Carolina Tar Heels to the tune of an 83-70 romp. Despite being a dirty dog, a 9.5-point underdog to be precise, MU picked up the win in Chapel Hill in this makeshift encounter anyway.
At times, this one wasn’t particularly close. 6+ minutes into the game, MU held a 10-point lead, which soon swelled up to as large as 18 points in the first half. UNC couldn’t make much of anything, and Marquette was more than willing to play the role of bucket-makers at the Dean Dome.
