Six days ago, poor perimeter shooting and defensive shortcomings guarding the corner three nearly resulted in an exhibition loss to Division II Lindenwood.
Tonight, Nov. 10, Marquette may come across similar dangers as the team hosts Mount St. Mary’s for its season opener and Maui Invitational regional game.
Perimeter battle
Marquette finished first in 3-point percentage last season, but the Golden Eagles won’t be the only team relying on the deep ball. Mount St. Mary’s head coach Jamion Christian expects his team to take 35 3-pointers per game.
Many of those triples will likely come from senior point guard Junior Robinson.
