Marquette really didn’t mess around against American and won by 41. That was nice. But considering the smackdown, what can we learn from this game?
It is no secret that I love Sam Hauser (see my tweet about how I’m naming my first child Samuel Hauser Newberry). But this was definitely one of his best games. He had 29 points on 8 made shots including being 7-of-9 from three. He was perfect from the free throw line (6-6), grabbed 4 rebounds, and had 5 assists. He’s one of the three best defenders on this team.
