A sold out crowd of over 17,500 came to the Fiserv Forum today to see the face-off between top two teams in the Big East, as the #10 Marquette Golden Eagles (20-4, 9-2) outlasted the #14 Villanova Wildcats (19-5, 10-1) 66-65.
It came down to the final buzzer in this battle of Big East foes, as Villanova had a chance for heroics while down 66-65 with 14 seconds left to play. After the timeout, senior Phil Booth was double-teamed as he drove to the hoop, and eventually passed it back to Jermaine Samuels who missed an awkward jumper as time expired.
