Marquette Opens With Veteran Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds

Loyola-Maryland visits the Fiserv Forum tonight (Tuesday) at 7:00 P-M to meet Marquette in the season opener.  The Greyhounds bring a veteran roster, with nearly 95 percent of the scoring and 87 percent of the rebounds returning from last year’s 11-21 team.  Both sides are led by big scoring threats.  The Golden Eagles’ Markus Howard averaged 25 points-a-game last season and the Hounds’ Andrew Kostecka averaged 21-point-three.  Howard was the unanimous Big East Player of the Year and a consensus All-American.
