With 11 seconds left Tuesday night against St. John’s, star guard Markus Howard had a chance to hit a game-winning shot to keep the Golden Eagles undefeated at Fiserv Forum.
Instead, the pump-fake to draw a foul and off-balance shot resulted in an air-ball, a St. John’s rebound and the first Marquette loss at Fiserv Forum.
“He got a good look,” junior forward Sam Hauser said. “It just didn’t fall.”
Sophomore Theo John fouled St. John’s forward Marvin Clark II and Clark missed both free throws, but Sam Hauser’s full-court heave was off the mark, resulting in the 70-69 loss.
