With Marquette trailing for most of the game Jan. 20 against Providence, and star point guard Markus Howard struggling to hit shots, a familiar sequence emerged. Junior forward Sam Hauser found his brother Joey, who made an open shot.
It first happened at the 3:09 mark in the second half, when Sam found Joey inside for a turnaround jumper. Less than two minutes later, Sam found Joey again, this time for an open three.
“It’s a proud brother-to-brother moment right there,” Sam Hauser said after the win.
Howard has dominated headlines for his scoring prowess, yet the Hauser brothers’ latest string of “brother-to-brother moments” are catching the attention of coaches across the BIG EAST.
