He is now averaging 25.8 ppg.

There are 15 regular season games remaining this year. Add 3-4 (or hopefully a lot more) postseason games including BE Tourney and NCAA, he has probably 18-19 games left this season.

Even if he conservatively averages 22 ppg for 18 games, that's 396 more points.

Add that to his current total of 1517 + 396 = 1913 points. That puts him in 2nd place. Conservatively.

If he has a couple more big blowout performances (and no reason to think there aren't more 35+ point games in him)....Jerel's record is in serious jeopardy. This year.

Using a very conservative estimate of 15 PPG the rest of the season in the 15 conference games remaining and at least 1 Big East and NCAA Tournament game he would be 4th all time. Since he will probably average more than that the rest of the way and I expect more then 2 combined Big East/NCAA games I would expect him to be pushing the number two spot by seasons end.

The fact that you believe you're being "conservative" in predicting 22 ppg the rest of the way is testament to how great Markus is.  The last time a player even averaged 22 ppg in a season for Marquette was Tony Smith in '89-'90.  Before that, it was George Thompson in '67-'68.  And 22 ppg is your "conservative" prediction.

I think you might be shooting a little high, but the thing is, I wouldn't be willing to bet you.  And that's how I know we're watching a special player.


*Edited to add:  Looking further back through the MU stats it would appear that the only other MU player to ever average 22+ ppg in a season was Bob Wolf in '65-'66.  There are no individual player stats available before 1947, as far as I can tell.

Only three 3-year players in front right?  DJO, meninger and GT.

Who is meninger?

Markus now making an appearance on the all time Big East scoring.  If he stays for 4 years, he should be a lock for NBE scoring champion (currently Bluiett, 7th overall with 2261).

Above statement also assumes that Ponds leaves after this year, which IMO is more likely than Markus leaving.

If Howard stays 4 years, the base assumption would be 50 more games. 46 regular season (15 this year, 31 next) and 4 postseason (2 BET/2 NCAA) games. If he averages 22.3 ppg in those games, he would pass Troy Bell as the overall Big East scoring king.

Its odd to think about this so early, but Markus will likely start his ascent past some all-time greats on the scoring list in the next few games.

Jerel McNeal - 1,985
Lazar Hayward - 1,859
George Thompson - 1,773
Dominic James - 1,749
Butch Lee - 1,735
Travis Diener - 1,691
Brian Wardle - 1,690
Tony Smith - 1,688
Wesley Matthews - 1,673
Bo Ellis - 1,663
Darius Johnson-Odom - 1,649
Damon Key - 1,647
Dean Meminger - 1,637
Trevor Powell - 1,571
Steve Novak - 1,567
MARKUS 1543 Through Hall
Don Kojis - 1,504
Bob Wolf - 1,479
Roney Eford - 1,471
Aaron Hutchins - 1,439

Next game should pass two more

Looking at that list, it would be interesting to see where DJO would have finished in career points if he was at MU for 4 years. Probably wouldn't have been close to Howard, but would have been well past Jerel. Maybe he's a good NBA comp for Howard?

Can't believe you don't think Markus can score 95 points next game to pass meninger, too.

I guess your lack of faith must be what a few on SOTG board are calling "Markus Fatigue."

over the past 2 games Sam moved up ten spots, with 1059.

Next up ahead of Hauser are Rowsey and Toone.

If he stays healthy, through next season, at the pace of 15 per game he could end up in the 1700-1800 range.

Wes Matthews hit 213 as a senior. At Markus' current clip of 6.7 FTM a game, he should pass Matthews in about 12 games.

He is on pace to shoot more than double the amount of free throws compared to last year. Getting fouled outside the arc as often as he has been so far this year is helping out.

28% of his points this year are from the charity stripe
