The Marquette Golden Eagles might not face a tougher opponent than the one that’s standing in front of them Wednesday night. Markus Howard and the Golden Eagles will be squaring off with the vaunted Kansas Jayhawks at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York as part of the Preseason NIT.
Marquette, 3-1 on the year, is coming off of a 74-55 win over the Presbyterian Blue Hose. But they struggled mightily at first in trying to put away the Blue Hose. It was all square at 26 at the half and they held a thin lead after the first 30 minutes of action.
