Even though there’s no national championship to play for, the Golden Eagles have adopted the March mantra that have carried so many title hopefuls through the NCAA Tournament: Survive and Advance.
“We’re excited to win a game in March and continue to play,” Wojo said. “There are a lot of people that would change spots with us.”
Marquette’s next opportunity to do that comes today when the Oregon Ducks come to the Al McGuire Center for the National Invitation Tournament’s round of 16. If the Golden Eagles win, they’ll host Penn State on either Monday or Tuesday for a chance to make the consolation tournament’s Final Four at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
