MILWAUKEE — Few coaches in the country stress defending the 3-point line more than PC’s Ed Cooley, but the Friars were put to the test against Marquette on Tuesday night.

The Golden Eagles entered the game fourth in the country in 3-point shooting at 40 percent. Six players have drained 10 or more 3s with Markus Howard leading the way with 51. Howard, who leads the country in scoring with 25.8 points a game, is the rare player who shoots a better percentage from outside the arc than on all shots (42 percent).
