When the Milwaukee Marquette boys basketball team started running out of gas Saturday afternoon, Bay View just revved up its motor. Bay View finished the WIAA Division 1 regional final with a 24-9 scoring run, turning a tight contest into a 73-57 victory at Marquette, lifting the Redcats into next week's Sectional No. 8 at the Al McGuire Center.
Darius Johnson-Odom scored nine of his 17 points in overtime Thursday night to lead visiting Marquette to a 74-67 victory over No. 14 Connecticut, which played without coach Jim Calhoun on the bench. Jimmy Butler added 16 points for the Golden Eagles (17-11, 8-7 Big East), who tied the game at 59 with 5.3 seconds left on a drive by Johnson-Odom.

The reshaping of Marquette University's 2008-'09 basketball roster began in earnest Thursday, most notably with a pledge from Dominic James to return for his senior season. In addition, MU has released freshman guard Scott Christopherson from his scholarship, freeing him to transfer, and incoming recruit Nick Williams from his national letter of intent, freeing the guard from Mobile, Ala., to sign with another school.
Any and every appearance in the NCAA tournament is an experience that college basketball players cherish. But the Marquette Golden Eagles' trip to Winston-Salem, N.C., last year at this time is one that Jerel McNeal would probably rather forget.
Home games against Louisville, Notre Dame and Georgetown, road games against Connecticut, Syracuse and West Virginia and repeat games against Villanova highlight the Marquette Golden Eagles' 2009- '10 Big East schedule, which was released by the league on Thursday. MU will also host Pittsburgh, Rutgers and South Florida and play at Cincinnati, St. John's and Seton Hall, in addition to playing repeat games against DePaul and Providence.
Buzz Williams cut short his trip to the Final Four, returning to Milwaukee on Friday for a round of more formal talks with Marquette University administrators regarding the school's basketball head- coaching position, multiple sources said.
