Despite Golden Eagles Alumni’s success in The Basketball Tournament, one big question remained for Marquette fans — Could the team win when the three-pointers weren’t falling? On Friday night in the Gallagher Center, the fans got the answer they wanted.
The Golden Eagles Alumni overcame a pedestrian (for them) 32 percent shooting mark from three to defeat Armored Athlete 82-71 in the Round of 16 of The Basketball Tournament. The Alumni will get a chance to play in the Elite Eight at the same court on Saturday.
To hear the team tell it, physicality was the secret.
