From ESPN article:
That was part of a stretch -- disappointing for Marquette, delightful for Syracuse -- in which the Golden Eagles went nearly 6 1/2 minutes without a single field-goal attempt. Forget about putting the basketball through the net; Syracuse was so smothering, Marquette did not even manage to shoot.
That helped Syracuse build a 19-7 lead.
From me: From the floor, Marquette only managed to put the ball through the hoop 15 times the entire game. The rest were free throws. Lowest point total in an elite 8 game since the advent of the shot clock.
This 3-2 is not your normal 3-2 defense. When it's cranked up and clicking it's one of the best of all time.
