Junior forward Sam Hauser poured in 25 points, including 20 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the second half to lead the Marquette Golden Eagles to a 79-68 win over Providence at Fiserv Forum on Sunday.

The Golden Eagles (16-3, 5-1 Big East) improved to 13-0 at their new home arena.

Hauser was coming off a collegiate high 31 points in a win over Georgetown earlier in the week.

Providence held an eight-point lead at the break, with both teams combining to make just 7 of 27 three-pointers.  Marquette shot 28% (7 for 25) overall.

The Golden Eagles took the lead for good when Sacar Anim’s 3-pointer was good from the corner with about 10 minutes left.

Markus Howard returned to the lineup with 24 points but hit just 4 of 15 from the field.  But Howard did make 14 of his 16 free throw attempts.  Forward Ed Morrow was back as well, finishing with nine points.

The Golden Eagles return to Big East action on Wednesday at home against the De Paul Blue Demons.

Marquette guard Markus Howard has been named the Big East Player of the Week for the fourth time this season and sixth time of his career.

Howard poured in a career high 53 points in a win over Creighton and averaged 39.5 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds a game in a pair of wins last week.

Howard shot 47.8% (22-of-46) from the field overall and 56.5% (13-of-23) from behind the 3-point line.  He also hit 22-of-24 free throws (91.7%).

Howard is the only collegiate player in the last 20 years to have two 50-point games.  He scored 52 points in a 2017-18 overtime win at Providence.

The Marquette Golden Eagles were hoping to hang their hat on a strong defensive performance as the necessary formula for a road victory in Omaha, Nebraska on Wednesday night.  Instead, junior guard Markus Howard was the key to the Golden Eagles first true road win of the season, a 106-104 overtime victory over the Creighton Blue Jays in Big East action.

After scoring 52 in a game against Providence, Howard dropped a career high 53 points on the Blue Jays on Wednesday night, connecting on 15 of his 26 field goal attempts, including 10 of 14 from three-point range.

The 53 points are the most scored by a Big East player in any game.

Howard wasn’t the only hero for the Golden Eagles though.  Sam Hauser hit a game tying off-balance three at the buzzer to force the overtime.

Marquette (13-3, 2-1 Big East) is fortunate to have gotten this win.  They trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half and appeared to have the game under wraps in regulation.  But after Marquette’s Joseph Chartouny hit a layup with one second left, cutting the Bluejays’ lead to 85-82, Creighton’s Connor Cashaw tried to throw a deep pass that went out-of-bounds without any players touching it.

The turnover gave the ball to Marquette with 0.8 seconds left.  The inbound then went to Hauser for the game-tying three.

It gave Marquette its first true road victory of the season.  They had been 0-2 with road losses to Indiana and St. Johns.

Creighton dropped to 10-6 with the loss, 1-2 in the Big East.
