Markus Howard set a program record with 52 points against Providence.
A year ago, Marquette had a 12-point lead in the second half before foul trouble dismantled the Golden Eagles’ lead. With Luke Fischer, Markus Howard and Matt Heldt all fouled out, the Friars walked away with a 73-69 lead.
In Marquette’s return to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center Wednesday night, foul trouble appeared to have spoiled another quality road win. Sacar Anim, Heldt and Greg Elliott all fouled out, leaving Marquette with only six scholarship players.
But Markus Howard refused to let Marquette loses.
