The Golden Eagles actually had pretty solid control of this thing throughout, although the Joe Crawford (35 points)-led Wildcats were within two points with 22 seconds to go. Wesley Matthews scored Marquette's final eight points (over 30 seconds) at the free-throw line. Marquette 74-66 and it now gets a Saturday afternoon game with Stanford. That is, unless, of course, Ivy League champion Cornell scores a super-duper upset a couple of hours from now.
