A Tale Of Two Halves: Marquette 83, Jackson State 54

Backed by a first ever career double-double for Oso Ighodaro, Marquette men’s basketball coasted to an 83-54 victory over Jackson State on Tuesday night to raise their record to 7-1 on the season.

Or did they?

Everything about that 29 point final margin says Marquette handled the Tigers easily.

That could not be further from the truth.

When the halftime horn sounded, the referees converged on the scorer’s table to review a last second three-pointer by Justin Lewis. Live, to my eyes, it looked like he did not get it off in time.
