As Sam Hauser got space from defender Jordan Tucker in the second half against Butler Wednesday night, he slammed an easy two-handed dunk. The bench had to be held back from coming any farther onto the court.
“Hey, that dunk was crazy,” sophomore center Theo John said. “He has that athleticism. … I love to see it.”
The rest of Marquette’s evening did not come quite as easily, but a second-half comeback helped the No. 11 Golden Eagles dodge an upset against the Bulldogs, winning 79-69.
Marquette could not hold onto a lead for more than a minute until well into the second half.
