Three takeaways: Depth helps Marquette in home opener
The Marquette Golden Eagles defeated the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Golden Retrievers 67-42 in its home opener at Fiserv Forum Tuesday night. Here are a few takeaways from the first game in the new arena:
Howard displays versatility on court
Though junior Markus Howard is most known for his perimeter scoring, Tuesday night showed a different side of his game. He had eight rebounds and seven assists while committing two turnovers.
“What I do like are the seven assists. What I do like is that handing over the ball majority of the time. He only had two turnovers,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “He had eight defensive rebounds. That’s pretty darn good.”
