Welllllllllllll, that sucked.
Marquette was up 8-7 at one point in the first half against North Carolina in the first round of the 2022 NCAA tournament on Thursday afternoon.
And then it was 53-25 at the half.
And then it was 83-53 with 7:03 to go when I got around to typing out this sentence after opening up the recap.
There’s not much to say here. We can diagnose the start of the bad times to head coach Shaka Smart subbing most of his starters off at the under 16 timeout which came nearly three minutes late due to a lack of stoppages.
