Marquette, the No. 7 seed in the South Region, lost to No. 10 New Mexico in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday. Senior Kam Jones, who helped the Golden Eagles reach their first Sweet 16 in over a decade last year, had 15 points, five rebounds and five steals in the loss.
Jones helped Marquette make the tournament in each of his four seasons, all under coach Shaka Smart. In November he had the program's first triple-double since Dwyane Wade. After the loss, Jones was visibly emotional as he embraced teammates and coaches before leaving the floor.
