+===== Marquette Grabs 18th Win; Seniors Say Farewell =====
+In their last home game of their careers, seniors [[Faisal Abraham]], [[Chris Crawford]], and [[Anthony Pieper]] carried Marquette to their 18th win of the season over the University of Houston, 67-67. Each of the seniors finished in double figures in scoring as they led a comeback charge late in the second half to defeat the Cougars.
+Wearing the 1977 replica Marquette uniforms, MU stormed out to an early 10 point lead at 11:47 left in the first half. Houston cut the lead to 7 at halftime, Marquette leading 33-26.
+At halftime, the 1977 NCAA championship team was honored on the 20th anniversary of their victory over North Carolina. A retrospective video was played and then the team was introduced individually along with coaches [[Hank Raymonds]] and [[Al McGuire]]. Coach McGuire briefly remarked on each of his players before the second half began. The crowd of 13,929 were brought to its feet for the special ceremony.
+As the Golden Eagles returned from the extended halftime period, they seemed to come out flat to open the second period. Houston quickly narrowed Marquette's lead to two points with 14:23 remaining. A minute later, the Cougars had captured the lead and extended it to 47-43 with 12:51 left in the contest.
+[[Chris Crawford]] got MU back on track with a 3 pointer to cut the lead to one. After a Houston basket, [[Anthony Pieper]] would tie the game on an old fashioned three point play with 9:23 remainining. Marquette would then take the lead for good on a transition basket from [[Chris Crawford]].
+The seniors each made big baskets in the last 5 minutes to seal the victory. The victory was accentuated by a great left handed dunk by [[Chris Crawford]] with 16.4 seconds left on the clock.
+The win pushes MU's record to 18-8, and 9-5 in Conference USA. Marquette will enter the C-USA tournament as the 5th seed and will play [[DePaul]] in the first round in St. Louis at 8:30pm. If Marquette should win, they would play #4 Memphis at 8:30pm on Thursday.
