The Quick & The Dirty: Marquette 82, North Dakota State 68

As WWE announcer Michael Cole might say, “VINTAGE MARKUS HOWARD!”

The Marquette senior guard posted 32 points on Friday night at Fiserv Forum to lead the Golden Eagles to an 82-68 victory over North Dakota State. With the win, MU is now 9-2 on the season with one non-conference game left to go.

While it looks like the Golden Eagles cruised easily to victory from a glance at the final score, that really couldn’t be further from the truth. Marquette had a 10 point lead for a total of 27 seconds in the first half, lasting from when Sacar Anim hit a triple with 6:51 to go to when Cameron Hunter buried a long ball of his own on NDSU’s ensuing possession.
