The Marquette Warriors defeated Syracuse 66-62 to advance to the Sweet 16.
From ESPN: Darius Johnson-Odom started the party on the court. Buzz Williams took it into the stands.
Johnson-Odom's 3-pointer with 27 seconds left snapped a tie and gave Marquette a 66-62 win over Syracuse on Sunday night that put the Golden Eagles into the NCAA tournament's round of 16 for the first time in eight years.
The 11th-seeded Golden Eagles (22-14) had the winning basket set up by one of Syracuse's 18 turnovers. Dion Waiters' pass went long and Scoop Jardine's jump to grab it resulted in an over-and-back. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310790183
Marquette is the second team from Wisconsin to head to the Sweet 16. How many states can claim that honor? Right now, just North Carolina and a possiblity of Indiana. Who would have thought Wisconsin is a hotbed for basketball?
