Markus Howard goes up for a layup in last weekend's exhibition game against Lindenwood.

Marquette may be short-handed Friday against Mount St. Mary’s following injuries to sophomore Markus Howard and freshman Greg Elliott.

Howard, who led the country in 3-point shooting in 2016-‘17, has been sidelined from practice since the Lindenwood exhibition with a sprained ankle. Wojciechowski says it will be a game-time decision.

“(Howard) is touch-and-go in terms of our game on Friday night,” Wojciechowski said. “We have to prepare like we won’t have him.”

Elliott had a severe thumb sprain Saturday against Lindenwood and is also questionable to play.
