Marquette allowed South Carolina to go totally haywire over the final 25 minutes, and the #10 seeded Golden Eagles fell to the #7 seeded Gamecocks, 93-73, in the first round of the 2017 NCAA tournament. Marquette finishes the third season of the Steve Wojciechowski era with a record of 19-13.
It seemed like we were going to get a vintage Marquette shooting performance as the Golden Eagles came blazing out of the gate. They led 8-0 after less than three minutes, and 26-16 after Katin Reinhardt buried a three with 9:20 left in the first half.
