The Quick & The Dirty: Marquette 94, VCU 83

Whew! I’m still catching my breath from that one. Maybe it was the early start (9:30 a.m. in Hawaii), but both Marquette and VCU came out guns a-blazin’ on Monday to kick off the Maui Invitational. Marquette’s guns were blazing a little brighter.

Marquette moved on in the winner’s bracket, taking out the Rams by a score of 94-83. Markus Howard led Marquette and all scorers with 22, joined in the 20s by his compatriots Sam Hauser and Andrew Rowsey (20 each).

Marquette got down early by a score of 10-3, but used a 12-0 run to get out of the hole and only trailed for a total of 21 seconds after that.
