In senior guard Andrew Rowsey’s final game at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, he demonstrated why he’s one of college basketball’s most exciting players to watch, scoring 26 points in a dramatic 85-81 victory over Creighton Saturday afternoon.

Creighton controlled the tempo for large portions of the game, outscoring Marquette 25-12 on fast break points. Creighton also outscored Marquette in the paint, 40-12.
