UCLA and Marquette went at it last night, in the late game in Honolulu. This game was a tale of two halves with the victor being Marquette by two points, 71-69.
The first half UCLA looked to steal the game, being up as many as 12. Towards the end of the first half, Marquette found their footing and closed the gap to 5 going into halftime.
In the second half Marquette brought the momentum over from the first, and came out the gates smoking hot. By the time it was all said and done, UCLA fell short of stealing a win from the number 4 team in the nation.
