Marquette Golden Eagles

Talk about it

MILWAUKEE - Davante Gardner hit his free throws and Georgetown missed. That was the deciding factor in Marquette’s 49-48 upset of the 15th-ranked Hoyas Saturday afternoon at the Bradley Center.

Gardner hit his pair with 8.3 seconds left for a 49-46 lead, then Georgetown’s Trent Lockett was fouled on a three-point attempt. He hit the first two free throws, but was short on the third after Golden Eagle coach Buzz Williams froze him with a timeout. Lockett managed to grab his own rebound and was fouled again, but he missed two more free throws to seal the Eagles’ fourth win in a row. Marquette’s record improves to 11-3, including 2-0 in the Big East Conference. Georgetown is 10-2 and the loss was its conference opener. Defenses were in charge for both the Eagles and Hoyas. They started the game missing 21 of their first 25 shots and Marquette led at half, 20-19, despite hitting only 7-of-27 from the field. Gardner finished with a dozen points for the Eagles.

________________________________________________________________________

Detroit hit more than 90 percent from the free throw line on the way to an 84-76 win over the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Saturday. Ray McCallum Jr. and Jason Calliste combined to hit 25-of-27 charity shots for the winners. The Phoenix cut the lead to three points with three minutes left, but could never catch the home team. Keifer Sykes scored 21 points to lead Green Bay scoring.

A significant edge at the free throw line wasn’t enough to boost the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee past Wright State last night. The Raiders trailed by five at half, 28-23, but came back to claim the 53-51 win. There was actually no scoring in the last 70 seconds as the Panthers’ Jordan Aaron missed a shot with one second on the clock. Aaron finished with 12 points. Milwaukee canned 18-of-25 free throws, while Wright State had just 5-of-8. Milwaukee’s record falls to 4-12 with its second straight Horizon League defeat.

Joel Rumpel recorded his second shutout of the season and the Wisconsin men’s hockey team ran its unbeaten string to eight in a row, taking a 1-0 WCHA victory on the road at Alaska-Anchorage. Derek Lee scored the games only goal at 2:56 of the second period. The win gives Wisconsin a weekend sweep of the two-game series against the Seawolves and moves the Badgers into a tie for seventh place. Wisconsin’s record is 6-7-5, including 4-5-5 in conference games. Eight games is the longer unbeaten string for the Badgers in seven seasons. Wisconsin outshot Alaska in the defensive game, 22-12. The Badgers are on the road again next weekend, traveling to Mankato, Minnesota, for a series against the Minnesota State Mavericks, winners of 11 of their last 12 games.

The PGA is having a hard time getting its season going. The Hyundai Tournament of Champions was postponed for a second straight day Saturday in Hawaii. The rain moved out, but wind gusts of more than 40 miles per hour made play impossible. Weather permitting, golfers will try to get in 36 holes today and will try to complete 54 holes by tomorrow night. Wisconsin competitors Steve Stricker and Mark Wilson are in the field.
