Marquette center Davante Gardner had a solid game on Friday night, scoring 16 points and grabbing six rebounds in the Golden Eagles' 81-63 loss to North Carolina in an East Region semifinal. Jae Crowder added 14 and eight in the season finale for Marquette. 

Gardner could see increased opportunities next season with JImmy Butler moving on but this is a perimeter-oriented team that likes its guards/wings to attack. How Davante fits into this next year remains to be seen but Friday was a good finishing point for him.
