Vander Blue to the Rescue

In the first round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament the Marquette Golden Eagles faced failure in the eye against the Davidson Wildcats, until Vander Blue of Golden Eagles made a last second lay-up to put Marquette up by 1. Vander Blue wasn't even the best performer over all for Marquette, Chris Otule had that one in the bag. Otule had 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks. The Wildcats top performer was Jake Cohen who had 20 points leading all scorers this game. The final score was 59-58 Marquette.

Gonzaga and Southern University were also among the teams to play in the first round today. Gonzaga faced a bad loss in the eye until they broke away in the second half playing cat and mouse. Then, they struck taking a 6 point lead and keeping it to win by a score of 58-64. Kelly Olynik was a big help for the Gonzaga Bulldogs with 10 rebounds and 21 points, Olynik did have 4 fouls so he had to play carefully the last minute or so. For the Southern University Jaguars Derick Beltran lead the club 21 points and shared the lead in assists with 3.

As the scores keep coming we'll keep getting the information out!
