Howard Hurt, Hauser Steps Up With 31 Points In 74-71 Win Over Hoyas

When high-scoring Markus Howard was sidelined with a back jury, junior guard Sam Hauser took over.  He scored 31 points as the Marquette Golden Eagles claimed a road victory at Georgetown Tuesday night, 74-71.  Blocked shots by Sacar Anim and Theo John in the final 12 seconds protected the thin lead over the Hoyas.  Howard left the action without scoring in the first three minutes and sat on the bench for the rest of the Big East Conference game.  Marquette has a 15-3 record with a home game against Providence coming up Sunday.
