It will be up to six-foot-five guard Sacar Anim to slow down Murray State’s scoring machine in tonight’s (Thursday’s) N-C-A-A first-round game. Anim’s defensive assignment will be Ja Morant, who’s averaging 24-point-six points-a-game. The Marquette junior, Anim, is known for his tenacious defense. The game is being billed as a showdown between Morant and the Golden Eagles’ Markus Howard, but Howard has other responsibilities and Anim routinely guards the opponents’ top offensive threat. Marquette meets Murray State at the X-L Center in metro Hartford, Connecticut this afternoon.
