CBE Classic held in Kansas City Missouri

 

Number 13 nationally ranked Marquette Golden Eagles put on a

transition clinic in the first half Monday night, taking advantage

of the early turnover of Texas Tech on its way to a 87-72 victory

in the semi finals of the CBE Classic.

 

Wesley Mathews scored 20 points and Jerel McNeil matched

his career high with 19 points for the Marquette Golden Eagles,

who kept Texas Tech’s coach Bobby Knight at 873 career

victories. 

 

Bobby Knight stayed three short of tying Adolph Rupp on the

Career list, and seven shy of breaking Dean Smith record of

879.

 

‘I think the main problem was we ran into a better team than us,’

said Bobby Knight. ‘They showed it from the beginning. They

jumped all over us.’

 

The Marquette Golden Eagles, 5-0 record for 2006, forced 18

turnovers, converting them into 27 points, and scored 22 points

on fast breaks.

 

Dominic James had 16 points and David Cubillan added 11 for

Marquette, which received 7 assists from Jerel McNeil and

six from Wes Mathews.

 

Lazar Hayward scored giving Marquette a 20 point lead at 74-54

with 5 and a half minutes left, then Texas Tech Red Raiders

guard Benny Valentine hit back to back 3 pointers in an 8-0 run,

closing the score to 74-62 with just four minutes left. But Dom

James hit a layup 30 seconds later and Marquette never looked

back again.

 

Benny Valentine led Texas Tech with 17 points, Jarrius

Jackson added 14 and forward Darryl Dora scored 4.

In a hard played game right from the get-go, two highly rated

Swingman Gary Watt helped Purdue with 11 rebounds and

14 points, and teammate Tarrance Crump, a 6 ft 1 inch guard,

chipped in 9 points as did guard Marcus Green.

 

With only 9.8 seconds remaining in the game, Austin Johnson

sunk a field goal and converted a free throw which pulled

the Sooners to with two points of Purdue, 73-71. A half

second later Oklahoma fouled Marcus Green, who made 1 of

2 attempts and 74-71 was the final.

 

Guard Austin Johnson was 5 for 15, and perfect in free throws,

5of-5, for 16 points and teammate guard Dave Godbold was 8 for

10 from the field, 1-of-1 free throw for a career high 17 points.
