Men’s basketball, still teetering on the NCAA Tournament bubble, took care of business against a St. John’s team that gave the Golden Eagles trouble in their first match-up with a 93-71 victory Tuesday night.
The offense ran efficiently, fueled by plenty of ball movement to create space outside. Marquette’s threes were falling. Fitting for the game, the team broke the program record for 3-pointers made in a season. Hauser scored a team-leading 19 points on 5-for-8 from long range, Rowsey went 3-for-8 from three and Katin Reinhardt, Markus Howard and Haanif Cheatham all shot 50 percent or better from beyond the arc.
