It has been a season of more downs than ups for the Marquette Golden Eagles, but Wednesday night may turn out to be one of their biggest surprise ups, especially for a game that did not even exist on the schedule a week ago.
Freshman Dawson Garcia s 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting led the way for Marquette to defeat North Carolina, 83-70 in Chapel Hill Wednesday night. Teammates D.J. Carton (17 points), Greg Elliot (15 points), and Theo John (11 points) balanced out the Golden Eagles scoring.
The Tar Heels were led by Garrison Brooks 18 points. North Carolina falls to 14-8 overall with the loss. They remain 8-5 in ACC play. Marquette improves to 11-12 overall with the win. They remain 6-10 in Big East Conference games.
