Marion’s season ends at the Super-Sectional to Springfield Southeast

MARION –  The Marion Wildcats make it to the Elite Eight as they defeated Springfield Southeast 56-51.  Justin Saddoris led the Wildcats with 13, Terell Henderson and Jadon Lacy added 10.

Marion Coach Gus Gillespe told Scott Mees of the Southern Illinoisan,  “It wasn’t one of our better performances, but maybe you give Southeast credit for the way they do things defensively. The part of the game I’d like to get back was the first quarter. I should have gotten us out of our defense earlier.”
