On Wednesday night, following Marquette’s convincing victory over Georgetown, the FS1 studio hosts tossed it to color commentator Donny Marshall, who was live with Markus Howard on the Al McGuire Court at Fiserv Forum for a post-game interview.
Instinctively, I found myself turning up the volume on my television. Post-game interviews in sports are notoriously boring and filled with clichés. But even as an extremely cynical sports fan, I wanted to hear from Howard, fresh off his stellar 30-point, 7-assist, 5-rebound performance, although the stats weren’t why I stayed tuned in. I legitimately CARED about what the superstar, now in between his penultimate and final Marquette home games, had to say.
