Marquette’s first Sweet 16 appearance will have to wait for at least one year.
The Golden Eagles’ season came to an abrupt close Sunday with an 90-72 defeat at the hands of top-seeded Louisville in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Marquette had a momentary glimpse of hope after junior guard Allazia Blockton scored the team’s first five points to give Marquette a 5-4 lead early in the first quarter.
Then, any sense of hope dissolved into a sea of red at the KFC Yum! Center, and reality set in the first four minutes.
