Markus Howard pulls up for a three-pointer on his record-breaking evening.
Marquette consistently masked its defensive struggles last year with historically efficient 3-point shooting.
That same trend continued Wednesday as sophomore Markus Howard lit up a weak Chicago State defense, breaking the individual single game 3-point record with 11 threes and helping the team hit a record 18 threes in the team’s 95-69 win.
The record-breaking moment came at the 7:14 mark, less than a minute after he tied the record. Howard did not find out until the next media timeout.
