    Notes on Markus Howard's 52-point game at Providence

    From
    Scott Kuykendall, Associate Athletic Director, Communications

    52 points...

    • Tied BIG EAST record (52, Marshon Brooks, Providence vs. Notre Dame, 2/23/11)
    • New Marquette single-game record (previous was 44, Tony Smith, vs. Wisconsin, 2/19/90 and Mike Moran, vs. Creighton, 2/5/58)
    • 11 3-point field goals are new record in BIG EAST games all-time and a single-game high in NCAA this season
    • 11 3-point field goals tied his own MU record (vs. Chicago State, 11/29/17)
    • 17 field goals are new single-game MU record. Previous high was 16, which had been recorded five times (most recently in 1968).
    • First NCAA player to score 50-or-more since Chris Clemons of Campbell scored 51 vs. UNC Asheville in the Big South Tournament on March 2, 2017.
    • Most points ever scored against Providence by an opponent



    Howard has now made 45-of-45 free throws dating back to Creighton last season on March 4, 2017

    FWIW the free throw number is wrong. He is 45/45 this season but the total streak is now at 54. The Marquette record is 68 straight by Steve Novak and the NCAA record is 85 for Darnell Archey of Butler.

    Endless stuff on Twitter for Markus - my favorites are the guy on fire and below that the superimposing of his face over Wilt's and replacing his 100 w/ 52.

    Agree on the Wilt pic, also like his pic on the side of the new arena.
