For the second time in the Steve Wojciechowski era, Marquette men’s basketball will be playing in March Madness.
The Golden Eagles are a No. 5 seed in the West region of the NCAA Tournament and will play Murray State in the first round. MU would play the winner of No. 4 Florida State and No. 13 Vermont with a first-round win.
The bid comes after Wojciechowski’s most successful regular season at Marquette. The team came one game short of a BIG EAST regular-season title. Junior guard Markus Howard ended the regular season as conference player of the year, marking the first time a MU player one the award since Jae Crowder.
