Senior guard Markus Howard reached yet another career milestone Feb. 12 at Villanova, becoming the BIG EAST’s all-time leading scorer in league games.

Following a 38-point performance at Providence Saturday, the Chandler, Arizona, native now owns 1,459 points in conference play over his four seasons. That is the most in the 40-year history of the BIG EAST.

After hitting a buzzer 3-pointer Feb. 12, Howard passed Lawrence Moten, the former record holder. Moten, a Syracuse guard from 1991-95, finished his career with 1,405 points in BIG EAST games.
