Midway through the second half, Naji Marshall stole the ball from Markus Howard. It wasn’t a meaningful steal and it didn’t require cunning dexterity, but it was a steal nonetheless that led to a fast break opportunity. Marshall missed a tough layup, but Paul Scruggs was there for the tip in. That one missed the mark as well. But fear not! Here comes Zach Hankins and his nonsensical haircut/headband combo to salvage the possession! Oh wait he missed an easy putback and Ed Morrow snarled the rebound away.
The Quick And The Dirty: #16 Marquette 70, Xavier 52
