COLUMBIA, S.C. — It came down to the last shot. Literally.
With seconds winding down in overtime, first-year guard MacKenzie Hare had the ball in her hands looking to send Marquette to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
However, Hare’s shot rimmed out as the Golden Eagles fell to South Florida 67-65 in overtime in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Colonial Life Arena Friday afternoon.
“It’s the hardest day of the year,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “I went to Chloe and Jordan both and I just told them how I wasn’t gonna have a magical speech at the end just how proud I was of them their fight and their heart.
