+ | In an effective and balanced 10-man rotation for the Golden Eagles, Crowder has led the team in minutes played this season. His time on the court is starting to translate into points. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The senior forward scored a team-high 25 points Sunday night as No. 21 Marquette (4-0) ran away with a 96-66 victory over Mississippi in the Paradise Jam semifinals. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The team will meet Norfolk State, a team Marquette dumped by 31 points last Monday, in the tournament championship game at 7:30 p.m. CST Monday. | ||
