When Markus Howard is ON ONE, Marquette can be one hell of a basketball team. When he’s not, well, that’s where things get interesting. Mix in a hellacious solo performance from the opposing bench, and you’ve got a recipe for a game that no one in MU blue and gold ends up being particularly excited about.
That’s what we got on Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum as Howard tallied 21 points on 17 shots while UTEP’s Jordan Lathon knocked together 26 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-4 from long range.
