Reactions: Marquette-Creighton provides fantastic finish; Markus Howard scores 53

Xavier's rally from down 17 against Georgetown in the first half Wednesday night at Cintas Center led to an exciting finish for the Musketeers in an 81-75 win, but it was far from the most dramatic finish of the night in the Big East Conference.

That belonged to Marquette and Creighton, with the Golden Eagles - led by a Big East-record 53 points by Markus Howard - prevailing 106-104 in overtime thanks to a Sam Hauser buzzer-beater at the end of regulation.
