In most games this season, no threes and eight turnovers from star guard Markus Howard would ground the Golden Eagles.
“If you told me that we’d have a game where Markus Howard didn’t make a three and had eight turnovers, I’d say you have a great shot to win,” DePaul head coach Dave Leitao said.
Theo John made sure that wasn’t the case Wednesday night, scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks to help No. 12 Marquette outlast DePaul 79-69.
“Theo gave us an unbelievable physical presence on both ends of the court,” Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
