Markus
Sam
Ed and Jamal played well when they were in. Sacar solid.
-
A quiet 36. Kept everything under control when Sam went out.
-
Markus.

Markus.
Lots of good supporting cast tonight. 11 pts on 5-5 shooting, 11 rebs, 7 blocks from the C position.

Markus.
Freaking unreal how he can kinda sneak into a 35+ game.
Solid game for Sam and Sacar, and great contributions from Ed, Jamal and Brendan off the bench.
-
Markus, the beyond obvious and only choice.

Every game. He is amazing

1) Markus (unreal)
2) Jamal ( very noce.minutes after some DNPs)
3) Fans (for a great "We are Marquette" chant to close it out).

Markus. As others said, kinda a crazy 36.
He basically scored all his points in 4 bursts.
-
The kid with 36 points and only 2 turnovers.
-
One of those turnovers was Joey giving it to him in an awful situation, and the other was that weird pass at the end that sailed into the crowd. He really had a great game tonight.

Markus

Markus was on fire all game.

No surprises today. We all know who.

Marcus

Wow! Not a single person disagrees!...

I remember just a few years ago when Dominic James or DJO would have a good start and score 16-18 by half. There'd be a buzz in the crowd thinking they had a shot at 30+ on the night.
Appreciate what we're seeing from Markus on almost a nightly basis. Makes scoring over 30 almost seem ordinary.
I don't think there was a single game of 30+ between Novak's 41 against UConn and Carlino going off for 38 in Orlando in 2014.
A lot of very good ballplayers went through the program over those 8 years.

Markus
I would try to give a unique answer maybe if Theo had gotten another 10min on the floor without foul trouble, but there’s no denying Markus’ ball control and offensive performance tonight.

Very well said. although I think Vander had 30 against USF but not sure

Think he may have just done it to get subs in? That sure was air mailed. No question on SOTG though. Truly a special player.

Vander had a 30 point game and I seem to remember Jae and DJO hitting 29 more than a few times.
-

I think a number of guys scored 30, but none more than 30.
Vander, Wesley, Jimmy, and Jerel a couple times.
MARKUS HAS SCORED MORE THAN 30 POINTS IN A SINGLE GAME 15 TIMES!
-
Very well said. although I think Vander had 30 against USF but not sure
Yes. Some others, too.
Jerel had 30 twice in the round of 32; Stanford and Missouri. Wes had 30 against Tennessee. Jimmy had 30 against Cincy.
MU lost all four games so maybe they're easily forgotten.
-
Howard, duh.
-
Markus. I wouldn't call his 36 points quiet, either. Even after everything he's done this season, he still hit several shots that made my jaw drop. Played 39 minutes, dominated every single one of them. Stud.
-
I really think that Morrow's play off the bench made him the SOTG. He got some tough rebounds when DePaul was trying to make a run, some blocks, good D and some important putbacks.
Just kidding, Markus.

I felt for the DePaul players. To be completely owned by the opposing fans on your home court must be so disheartening.
It is pathetic. Other than the pep band, the cheerleaders and dance team, there were Maybe - maybe - 50 to 100 students there. I could only identify 35 in a “student section”.
It makes me appreciate our students and the professionalism of the way the athletic dept runs the in game entertainment etc.
DePaul is an embarrassment.

What else.is new? Honestly why should anyone show up anyways? They have been utter garbage since I was old enough to understand basketball. I wouldn't show up either

Markus Howard
Honorable Mention- Sam Hauser

Markus
But how about some love for Ed ... 9 points, 4 board and 1 big block in 17 minutes.

Joey Hauser is struggling in the worst way. 8 days to figure it out.

I was at the game and I was sitting behind a very casual DePaul fan who was there with a group of law school alums. He turned back to me at one point and asked, "Is number 0 your best player?" To which I replied,"By far." My point is, if a casual DePaul fan can figure it out, how can we get it wrong?
-
Markus, obviously.
Sam and Sacar were good. Ed and Jamal next tier.
-
At what point do we stop making these threads when it’s so obvious?
The milk man!

Jimmy definitely had 30 vs Cincy.
Jerel did it too I believe.
Maybe Wes, Jae and Lazar? Can’t remember for certain.
But you’re right, Markus makes it ordinary.

All Markus. He's coming for Crowder's record of 11 SOTGs in a single season.
Shout outs to Ed and Jamal for coming up big when their numbers were called.
Oh and Theo with 6 blocks in 16 minutes, ridiculous

One of the best shot blockers I've ever seen - his anticipation on the "help block" is phenomenal. If he can stay on the court 30 mpg, I think he could get into the rarefied air range of 4 bpg next season...

Part of me wonders if depaul were to have a good season would their students even take notice? They've been so bad for so long their school demographics likely aren't the type of people who are going to go and cheer.

Vander Blue did it once his junior year.

30pts 5 times from Novak to Carlino followed by Duane, then Henry, then Rowsey Markus and Sam do it repeatedly. We've gotten desensitized.
-
Markus.
-
He's going to get another BEPOY next week off of a single performance. Special basketball player. Even better kid.

Maybe. Maybe not. Point is he will have earned it.

1. Markus. Loved the look on his face after he threw the ball into the crowd near the end of the game.
2. Sammy. Watching him in person showed just how good on D he really is.
3. Ed is showing why he was so talked about as a transfer.
Go Warriors!
-
Markus is amazing. Nobody like him when he gets that look in his eye.
This game was particularly enjoyable because he played within the offense and it never felt like the "clear out and let markus go" show that we've seen against k-state, buffalo, creighton et al. Special player.

Ryan Amoroso had one too
-
If Ed would have kept up his efficiency he had a shot, but foul trouble limited him so it's gotta be Markus.

MU hosted a lunch for volunteers last Friday where there was a Q&A with Markus and Sammy. Mike Broeker hosted.
Mike asked Markus, "So if another player wants to get the ball to you in the best place for you to shoot it, what spot is that on the court?"
Markus thought for a quick second, shook his head, and without a trace of arrogance, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter".
That brought the house down.

That’s awesome

There was a possession in the first half, where Sammy was WIDE open in the left corner, waving his arms trying to get Markus's attention to pass him the ball. Markus dribbled, shake n' baked and shot a three from just right of the top of the key, nothing but net. Sammy had an "oh well..." look on his face, like he'd seen that before.
It's not a knock on Markus. Had he missed it, it would be. Or if anyone else did that, it would be. But Markus is just such a damn good shooter, how can you not just come away thinking it was a great shot?

I am sure even Sammy will say that if Markus has a shot he thinks he can make, he should take it.
We've gotten so used to Markus's crazy ability that it doesn't even phase us anymore.
I have watched games where Markus will take a shot that is way beyond where a normal shooter would, and someone who hasn't seen much MU Hoops will say, "WTF is he doing?"
I wait for the swish, turn to the person and say, "He's scoring".

That's great stuff.
Markus has the ability to get off his shot almost any time he wants to, even over much taller opponents. He's maybe had a half-dozen shots tipped all season.
When he is on, this is a very good thing. When he is off, it's not as good a thing ... but even then he almost always finds a way to make a positive impact -- gets to the FT line, draws a charge, leads his team, etc.
Overall, he is a wonderful player having an incredible season for an outstanding team. He is a leader on and off the court, and a credit to the university.
If only every student-athlete at every school could be like Markus Howard.

Seriously. Even if he had no basketball talent whatsoever, I would still be super-proud of him as a Marquette student and representative.

It was a set play coming out of a timeout if i recall right before half time. Sam n Markus ran a pick n pop n tgere literally wasnt anyone with 20 feet of Sam. Markus dribbled n took a contested 3 over both defenders. Wojo was on the sidelines going crazy that Markus hadnt hit Sam. Then Markus hits the shot n wojo turns n shrugs his shoulders. I recall because my son n i were in the middle of a discussion about Markus n his draft prospects n his lack of court vision.

I said out loud "Look at Sam--look at Sam!!" And as Markus fired, there was no doubt.

Rewatched the play and Markus bobbled the ball. I'm guessing he didn't give Sam a second look and assumed the window had closed and took it himself.

Same here!

There are such things as good shots even if they don't go in. As a coach, we consider any open look in a shooter's "happy range" to be a good shot. For some kids, that range is a layup; for others it is a 12-footer; for others it is an open 3. Sometimes they just don't go in, but that doesn't mean they weren't good shots.
A perfect example would be the wide-open 3 that Markus got on the baseline after DePaul screwed up on defense. It might as well have been a layup. He had a similarly open 3 against St. John's that didn't go in. Both were good shots we all want him to take 100% of the time.
Markus does take several shots every game that are "bad" ... but they turn good when they go in.
Even as bullish as I am about Markus, I say, "No" before he shoots maybe 2-3 times a game on average. Damn if 1-2 of those don't splash right through.
Shooters gonna shoot, and scorers gonna score. If that's the "bad" we have to live with concerning Markus, that's A-OK with me.
-
Is it just me, or does anyone else ever ask themselves when a shot from Markus goes in, but touches the rim first:
Hmm, I hope nothing is wrong with Markus...
-
but he missed two free throws. Human after all.
I say send him back to Phoenix for the week and make him run that rock pile hill he used to as a kid.
Then see if he misses any more free throws
-
The best question from the luncheon......
"Who on the team does the best Wojo impression?"
We even got a little from the 2nd place guy. ;D
-
Does the NCAA tournament start in 8 days?
No, but my preference would be that he figures it out weeks before it does start.
-
To almost nobody's surprise, it's Markus!
I've been slow to update, but maybe because I don't have to change pictures, it's not noticed as much.
