00:02 The night cap yesterday out on Honolulu.
00:05 11.30pm Eastern Time, the Bruins and the Golden Eagles.
00:09 It was a great game, DRS. UCLA jumped out to an early lead,
00:13 led by as many as double digits early on in the second half.
00:17 And then Shaka Smarts Club responds and finds its way to a victory once again.
00:22 71-69, UCLA does cover as a five and a half point underdog,
00:27 but Marquette advances in Maui with a two point win.
00:31 >> I'll tell you what's crazy too, look at that over under closing around 141.5,
00:35 71-69 final, that was a barn burner but still staying under the total.
00:39 I like this Marquette team, they asked me yesterday,
00:41 we're just going over the price points here on who's gonna win the Maui Invitational.
00:44 I said, you know what, let me take a good shot here on Marquette.
00:46 That's a nice victory and also,
00:48 just because you don't see a ranked sign out there from UCLA.
00:51 They came in three and 0 to this ball game.
00:52 That's a good win neutral court here for Marquette,
00:55 because also when you're facing adversity,
00:57 just talked about it with the Purdue Boilermakers,
00:59 you're down 35-30 to break, make those adjustments,
01:01 come out and win a basketball game on a neutral court here against a quality opponent.
01:05 Marquette was able to do that.
01:06 Now things start ratcheting up because also you take a look at,
01:09 you know, conference tournament play at the end of the regular season.
01:12 The reason I'm bringing this up is this has that type of feel.
01:15 There's no rest for the weary then.
01:16 You don't get two or three days off here where,
01:18 hey, we advanced to the Sweet 16, we played on Saturday,
01:21 we're not to play again till Thursday of the next week.
01:23 You're going toe to toe with great opponents on a night-to-night basis.
01:27 Let's see how they perform today after playing a hard-fought win against the UCLA Bruins.
