NEW YORK -- Markus Howard had the go-ahead basket in overtime to cap a 21-point night and lead Marquette past Louisville 77-74 in the third-place game of the NIT Season Tip-Off on Friday night.
"I thought that this was one of the best four games that Markus has had since he's been at Marquette," Golden Eagles coach Steve Wojciechowski said. "Markus has a lot of pressure to deliver and he delivered in a big way."
The Golden Eagles (4-2) were once again led by Sam Hauser, who followed up his strong semifinal performance with 22 points.
