Marquette Golden Eagles
Marquette takes on Georgetown tomorrow. It's big. Huge. #7/8 against #11/12. On the line is the #2 seed in the Big East Tournament, and potentially a #2 seed in the NCAAs. Oh, and it is senior night. A Buzz Williams coach Marquette team has never won on senior night. Darius Johnson & Jae Crowder will be honored. At today's media availability Crowder said it will not be emotional, yet DJPO said it would be emotional for both he and Jae. Buzz said he would like the two to be remembered as "lion chasers". Not people who are chased by lions, but those that chase the lions.
I will have a full preview tonight, but in the mean time, here are Jae & DJO....
