Marquette Beats Syracuse

Last night Marquette (22) and Syracuse (12) faced off in a Big East show down. Marquette started off slow right away in the first half, but were able to cut the lead to 4 at half. In the second half Marquette excelled and ended up on top 74-71. It was a big game for Devante Gardner getting his career high in scoring, 26 points. Todd Mayo also was a big help draining 2 long range 3's in a row to tie the game. Marquette will have to get some rest because they have another big game on Saturday against Notre Dame.
