Cheatham bounces back
Haanif Cheatham started the BIG EAST season playing well below his usual standard. He scored a total of 10 points in three games on 3 of 19 shooting. The worst night came in Marquette’s devastating loss at Seton Hall when he failed to score a single point. When the Pirates came to the Bradley Center Cheatham flipped the script. He scored seven points in the first half and added two assists despite seeing two of his first three shots get blocked. The sophomore finished with 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
“He came out and battled, and stayed in the gym and, you know, just came out and played big for us tonight,” Katin Reinhardt said.
