Most of the time, having two players combine to score 51 points would be enough to walk away with a victory.
But not even Markus Howard and Andrew Rowsey’s combined 51 points were enough for Marquette against sixth-ranked Wichita State, losing 80-66 in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational semifinal Tuesday afternoon.
HOWARD AND ROWSEY… AND THAT’S ABOUT IT
Howard’s 17 points in the first half on six-of-eight shooting kept Marquette within striking distance. The Shockers could not expand their lead past eight points despite 53 percent shooting and a 22-10 advantage in the paint.
