After trailing the Bluejays by double-digits for much of the game, a trio of Markus Howard 3-pointers brought the Golden Eagles back into the game to set up senior Andrew Rowsey’s signature moment.
With 3:21 left and Marquette up 71-70, Rowsey picked up his dribble and could not find an open teammate. The lone senior chucked up a prayer from the “Al” logo about five feet from the 3-point line, not fully realizing where he was shooting from.
“I was hoping Coach (Al) McGuire was looking down from heaven and would help that ball find the bottom of the net,” Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
