Not even an illness could stop Markus Howard from setting program records Saturday afternoon.
The junior point guard scored 45 points to give Marquette its first win over a ranked opponent this season, a 83-71 victory over No. 12 Kansas State.
It was the most points in regulation and in any home game in program history.
“He hasn’t been able to practice. We didn’t know what to expect,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “I’ll take it. He might not practice the rest of the season.”
Howard was clinical from the field, hitting 11 of 17 shots.
