JAKE FENNER GARDEN of MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: Neither of these squads had won a Big East Championship before tonight. In the conference's championship game, two teams that haven't been used to this tournament for a decade – and aren't necessarily from the East Coast – met. The Musketeers of Xavier University in Cincinnati had only been here before losing in 2015 to Villanova. The Golden Eagles of Marquette University in Milwaukee had never gotten to this point in their long and storied basketball tradition. The first all-Midwest championship game in the conference's history brought ticket prices down, with the get-in-the-door price reduced to just $25. When UConn's Jordan Hawkins couldn't sink a shot to beat the buzzer last night, the final team from the East Coast fell to Marquette. Fans of the Despondent Huskies had already sold their tickets to long-distance supporters of the teams in the championship, who cheered them up and packed The World's Most Popular Arena to the brim.
