Thank You Markus Howard

[TallTitan34]

With the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament, we have seen the last of Markus Howard in a Marquette uniform.

Thank you for everything on and off the court.

Retire 0.

[Galway Eagle]

TBT team better sign him up ASAP!

truly a shame Markus leaves with 0 tourney wins

[BM1090]

Thanks Markus, Sacar and Jayce. It sucks your careers ended this way.

[Farley36]

NCAA should do the right thing and give all seniors the option of playing another year.

truly a shame Markus leaves with 0 tourney wins

Based on how we've been playing, I think he was leaving with 0 tourney wins anyway, but it kills me that he just missed being in the top 20 all-time NCAA scorers by 8 points.  He would have finished 18th if he scored his season average for the 2 more games we were guaranteed to play.

Anyway, regardless of how you feel about the way he played, Markus was class through and through and a great representative of our university.  Same goes for Sacar.  I was also really learning to appreciate Jayce, especially his rebounding.  Wish all three of them the best.

Man, sad stuff. I was hoping to see some Markus March magic. Sucks it ends like this.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Feel absolutely horrible for these kids
I think it is an overreaction
I thin no fans n it would have been fine

Markus wouldnt do it anyways.

But I actually do think anyone that isnt going pro should be given something like that.

[wadesworld]

Brutal. Thank you Markus, Sacar, and Jayce.

That would be his choice but just seems right that they all should get to make that choice given the uncontrollable circumstances.

[Golden Avalanche]

Once in a generation talent. Imperfect ending for him.

And not great feelings for Sacar and Jayce, both of whom went through quite a journey to get one more chance at winning in March.

[Warrior of Law]

I am genuinely saddened that we won't see Markus play again for MU. Would have loved to see him finish on a more positive note.

I just got on Scoop to start a thread thanking Markus. You beat me to it.

He was as good of a representative as this university has ever seen with its athletes. It was great watching him play for 4 years. Hopefully, he can get on the right team and start a career in the NBA. He was absolutely one of the top 5 Warriors of all-time - even to a guy like me that is partial to the old-timers under Al.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Sad way to his (and many other seniors) career to end.  Thanks Markus!

[Johnny B]

Catastrophicly brutal end. Goodbye markus Howard ❤

medical hardship for another year of eligibility?

The coronavirus ended his season.  Grant it to him, NCAA.

[TallTitan34]

The coronavirus ended his season.  Grant it to him, NCAA.

Stronger case than Joey.

[Jamo]

Feel very shitty, both for Markus and selfishly. I know the team was charging downhill and a run was unlikely, but you can't convince me there wasn't at least a 50% chance he goes off for 35+ in an opening round win. He deserved that, at least. Damn.

[GooooMarquette]

Thank you Markus, Sacar and Jayce!

Markus is the kind of talent we may not see again for a LOOOONG time. All-time leading scorer at MU by a wide margin and in the BE, #21 all-time leading scorer in NCAA history, a remarkable three-point and FT shooter, and someone who dealt with double and triple-teams more than any MU player since DWade. In addition, he is a wonderful representative of the university.

Sacar looked like a mostly-defense role player as a frosh, but the jump he took during his redshirt year was one of the greatest I've ever seen. A testament to a guy committed to working hard, doing what the coaches ask and contributing to the team however he can. From a non-offensive threat to a legit shooter and scoring option.

Jayce was only here for a season, but he showed a great work ethic and steadily improved as the season progressed.

All three of you will be missed.

[MU82]

Enjoyed watching Markus big-time. A once-per-generation scorer and a tremendous representative of Marquette University.

Also loved the way Sacar conducted himself over these last 5 seasons.

Wish them both nothing but success on and off the court. (Jayce, too, of course.)

[T-Bone]

Thank you fellows for being upstanding citizens.  Excited to see the next journey.

[Shooter McGavin]

Thank you Markus!!   Class act and superb basketball player.
