It was an ugly, ugly game. Our bigs were the only good thing for about 3/4 of the game. Wolfe very good inside. Scheide only one who could hot a shot. Fortunately they were worse for most of the game.
Marquette got their first lead with about 5 minutes left, Burton tied it with a layup with 4 seconds left. Pulliam finally got going a bit at the end of regulation, and in OT took over the game.
I was only able to watch overtime and Pulliam made it fairly anti-climactic, which I appreciated. MU won the Big East regular season title last season, has made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, and soundly beat us in Evanston last year, so this seems like a solid win. I think MU was without one of their better players though.
NU plays at Duke on Sunday. I was hoping we'd get at least one of these two road games, but both would be even better.
