After three long seasons in the postseason wilderness, Marquette Golden Eagles are back in the NCAA tournament, earning an at-large bid the 2017 national championship field.
Greg Gumbel announced MU’s entry on CBS on Sunday evening, declaring that the Golden Eagles are a #10 seed in the bracket and heading off to Greenville, South Carolina to play #7 seed South Carolina Gamecocks in the first round. The winner of that game will advance to the second round for a game against either #2 Duke or #15 Troy. Coach K vs Wojo in the second round, anyone?
