Golden Eagles Extend Winning Streak To 8-In-A-Row At Butler 76-58

It may have been below freezing outside Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, but Marquette guard Markus Howard was hot inside, hitting 14-of-23 shots and scoring 32 points in a 76-58 win.  The Big East Conference victory extended the Golden Eagles’ winning streak to eight-in-a-row.  Marquette’s record is 19-3, including 8-1 in conference play.  Junior forward Sam Hauser followed Howard with 19 points in one of the only college basketball games being played in the Midwest.  Marquette is off until next Tuesday when St. John’s visits the Fiserv Forum.
