Powered by 26 points from Jamil Wilson, Golden Eagles, your favorite Marquette alumni team, ended up rolling to a relatively easy 79-62 win over #8 seed and Memphis regional champion Jackson TN Underdawgs in the quarterfinals of The Basketball Tournament on Thursday night.
It did not start as well as it ended, though. The Tennessee guys started out on an 8-0 run and the MU team didn’t score until three and a half minutes had wound off the clock. By the end of the first quarter, it was down to a three point margin after three free throws from Elgin Cook right at the end, so that was better.
