Howard’s 36-point performance helps No. 10 Marquette overcome DePaul’s post attack
CHICAGO — Junior guard Markus Howard had a bit of a happier walk off the Wintrust Arena floor Tuesday night than a year ago.
After scoring 36 points against DePaul, he uttered four words as he left the game at the 1:24 mark to a line of players embracing him.
“Good week, good week,” Howard said after hugging Anim.
A year after essentially falling out of NCAA Tournament contention at Wintrust Arena, Marquette had a much more reason for optimism Tuesday night, winning 92-73 against the Blue Demons.
Marquette faced many of the same issues as a year ago: DePaul’s savvy post play and foul trouble.
