Markus Howard scored 26 points in Marquette's 93-72 win over Grambling State Dec. 17 at Fiserv Forum.
For Steve Wojciechowski, the first game after final exams is a chance to knock the rust off.
“You try to make practices harder than games, and you try to have practice simulate game situations,” the six-year head coach said. “But there’s nothing like playing in games.”
Tuesday night, the Golden Eagles did exactly that, winning 93-72 against the Grambling State Tigers in their first game since Dec. 7.
It wasn’t exactly the prettiest start. Marquette did not lead by more than five points until the 4:23 mark in the first half and committed seven turnovers in the first 14 minutes.
