The Marquette Golden Eagles went into Manhattan, Kansas, Saturday night and picked up a 73-65 win in a rematch of a game that Marquette won at Fiserv Forum almost exactly a year ago.
After missing Wednesday’s win against Jacksonville while in concussion protocol, senior guard Markus Howard scored 19 points on 6-for-16 shooting and had four assists.
In his return, Howard came out of the gates hot, shooting 3-for-5 from the field in the first half with 10 points. In the half, there were three other Golden Eagles who had at least six points: redshirt senior guard Sacar Anim, who had ten, and both redshirt sophomore Greg Elliott and junior Jamal Cain, who each hit two three pointers.
