NCAA East: Syracuse Stifles Marquette; Reach First Final Four Since Winning Title In '03


At Washington:

James Southerland scored 16 points, while C.J. Fair added 13 and Michael Carter-Williams 12 (to go with his 10 rebounds) as the #4 Syracuse Orangemen (30-9) held #3 Marquette (26-9) to the lowest scoring total in a NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament regional final since the shot clock was introduced in 1986 as they defeated the Golden Eagles 55-39 in Saturday East Regional final.  The Orangemen will play in their first Final Four since winning the national title in 2003.  Next Saturday, they will face the winner of Sunday's Michigan-Florida game in one national semifinal in Atlanta.
