The Marquette Golden Eagles aren't an offensive juggernaut by any means, but at least they normally understand that the object of the game is to put the ball in the hoop. This concept, however, has eluded them in their Sweet 16 game against Carolina.
A List Of Things That Happened While Marquette Went Scoreless Vs. North Carolina
After Jae Crowder scored on a putback with 12:43 remaining in the first half, Marquette went eight minutes and 47 seconds without scoring a single point. Not just zero field goals, but zero points from anywhere. In the meantime, North Carolina scored 19 straight points to turn a 10-8 deficit into a 27-10 lead. For the half, Marquette has somehow managed to both shoot unbelievably poorly (20 percent) and commit a lot of turnovers (12).
