Marquette won its first Big East championship after 18 seasons and doesn’t look like they will let off the gas in the NCAA tournament.
The final night of the Big East Tournament never sounded like this before.
“Marquette is a special place that has had a special basketball program for a long, long time,” coach Shaka Smart said as he accepted the trophy. “We’re so proud to bring a championship back to Milwaukee.” “All the moments they’ve been through with me have led up to this moment right here,” Kolek said. “To share that with my high school coach, my brother, my dad, my two best friends, it’s special. There is no better feeling.”
“I thought tonight there are times when their effort level and their quickness, their togetherness, their communication, it was like there were six players on defense against us,” Xavier coach Sean Miller said. “We couldn’t get a good shot, and that is to their credit.”“Coming up here to New York, we’ve really played for the most part very, very sticky, tough defense,” Smart said. “We’re going to need that if we want to advance in the NCAA Tournament.
