If I told you that Marquette threw away an early seven point lead, lost Markus Howard to a hip injury while trailing by six in the first half, and fell behind by 16 late in the first half, I’m guessing that you would be pretty sure that the second half ended in disaster and sadness, right?
NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND.
Powered by a career high 26 points from Sacar Anim, Marquette exploded out of the locker room after halftime, trimmed the deficit to just two possessions before the first media timeout, took the lead before the second media timeout, and held on to beat Creighton, 90-86.
