Markus Howard is a bucket. You know that. I know that. The rest of the world knows that. The last two nights were some of the best from him. On Thursday night, Howard had 40 points against Davidson. He carried Marquette to victory. On Friday night, Howard had 51 points. He is the first Big East player in history to have consecutive 40 point games. What he did the last two nights was incredible. This guy is such a joy to watch and to see Marquette break out the way they did last night with Howard was the best.

Markus Howard goes for 5️⃣1️⃣‼️

Now, Howard will play number five Maryland on Sunday afternoon. What can he do for a finale? Howard talked about having ‘unfinished business’ for the way Marquette finished last season, and it’s apparent he’s ready to take his game to another level. I love what he’s done this season and know this is only the beginning. Even if you’re not a Marquette fan, when Markus gets going you have to watch him.
