When you watch Marquette play, the offensive game plan is no secret: get the ball to Markus Howard and let him shoot a lot. He is currently averaging 17.0 FGA per game. This is more per game than Marquette greats Dwayne Wade, Jimmy Butler, Jae Crowder, Lazar Hayward, and is the most for a Marquette player since 1975-76 when Earl Tatum averaged 17.0 FGA per game. This game plan is not a problem when he shoots well. Even ifHoward starts slowly, you never tell a shooter to stop shooting.
This is okay when he can eventually catch fire like he did versus Buffalo, where he only had 5 points on 1-7 shooting in first half, but 40 points on 11-18 shooting in the second half.
