Between his long-range bombs and his sharp passing, Andrew Rowsey played like a senior that didn’t want the season to be over.
Rowsey poured in 29 points on six 3-pointers, tying a Marquette career-high, and dropped 20 assists to power Marquette to a 101-92 win over the Oregon Ducks in the NIT’s second round.
An opening salvo of seven points from Oregon sophomore guard Payton Pritchard made it seem as though the game would come down to a scoring battle between the Ducks’ and Golden Eagles’ leading bucket-getters. Instead, Pritchard scored only nine more points for the rest of the game.
