Oso Ighodaro kept it short and sweet after the game.
“Feels like a March Madness game,” the senior forward said.
The old adage for March is “survive and advance.” Marquette did exactly that — just in November.
In the opening round of the Maui Invitational, the No. 4 Golden Eagles beat the UCLA Bruins 71-69 Monday night at the Stan Sheriff Center.
The win is Marquette’s first ever against UCLA, which before Monday was 0-4 against the Bruins.

There was 4:05 left on the clock when junior guard Kam Jones — who is Marquette’s leading scorer this season — fouled out with 12 points.
