Despite Markus Howard’s status being a relative unknown for most of the week, he played in Marquette’s season-opening 80-59 victory over Mount Saint Mary’s.
Howard finished with 11 points in the win, but his status of being able to play was surely a positive for the Golden Eagles.
Andrew Rowsey led the team with 23 points on 7-16 shooting, and also tied for the team-high with five assits with Sacar Anim.
This game was never all that close as Marquette got out to an 8-0 lead and never looked back. They also won the turnover and assist battle.
