To the surprise of many, Marquette Golden Eagles had not been shooting the ball nearly as well as anticipated. Last season as a team, Marquette shot nearly 43% from three. With the shots taken by Jajuan Johnson (38%) and Katin Reinhardt (37%) supposedly going to Markus Howard (57%) and Andrew Rowsey (45%), one would think this change in three-point allocation would lead to an increase in three point percentage. However, until Wednesday night, Marquette had ben shooting a paltry (by their own lofty standards) 38.2% from three. This is mainly because last year’s national three point percentage leader Markus Howard was shooting only 30.
