Following Marquette’s 100-90 loss to No. 3 Villanova in early January, the talk after the game focused on Markus Howard, who dropped 37 points.
But away from the spotlight, redshirt sophomore Sacar Anim, collected 14 points, three rebounds and two assists on the road against arguably the best college basketball team in the country.
