As for Murray State’s opponent, Marquette destroyed St. John’s (which was KO’ed from this tournament last night by Bobby Hurley’s ASU Sun Devils) in its first Big East tournament game but was otherwise playing awful before that — losing to Georgetown, Creighton, Nova and Seton Hall to end the regular season. The Golden Eagles also have a 5-foot-something scoring machine of their own in Markus Howard. Watching him face off with Ja Morant is going to be fun.
