OMAHA, NEBRASKA – After Marquette blew an 18-point second half lead at No. 13 Butler on Monday, the criticism of Luke Fischer was heavy.
“Luke’s really struggled and we need him to be good,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said of the senior. “It’s not a matter of scoring. It’s a matter of playing defense and rebounding. It’s a mystery.”
Fischer was extremely critical of his own performance as well.
“It’s frustrating, but I’ve got to get it out of my head,” Fischer said. “Once the defense comes along, the offense will come along with it.”
Whatever wasn’t working for Fischer on Monday was fixed by Saturday.
