No one needed to remind head coach Steve Wojciechowski of his team’s woes at Hinkle Fieldhouse entering Wednesday’s game at Butler. Marquette was 0-5 there in the first five years of the new BIG EAST.
“I love going to Hinkle even though we usually get our brains beat in,” Wojciechowski said.
That trend changed Wednesday, as Marquette eased past Butler 76-58 at Hinkle Fieldhouse, marking the first the team’s first win at Hinkle since 1990 and second win against Butler in the Wojciechowski era.
“This one meant a lot more to us,” junior guard Markus Howard said.
