Three takeaways: Ponds dominates, team balance, FT shooting

Looking back on St. John’s 86-78 victory over Marquette...

The Marquette Golden Eagles visited Carnesecca Arena with its two under six foot guards, Markus Howard and Andrew Rowsey expected to lead the way. The guards, particularly Rowsey, did not disappoint — but Rowsey was joined by forward Sam Hauser in setting a dangerous pace early.

The 6’8” Sam Hauser opened the scoring with a three from the left corner, but by the 11:55 mark of the first half, Rowsey had scored 11 straight points for the Eagles leading Marquette to a 14–11 lead.
