Marquette is one of the best shooting teams in college basketball.
Markus Howard says his wrist is "all good" ahead of the fifth-seeded Golden Eagles' NCAA tournament first-round game Thursday against No. 12 seed Murray State.
Howard, the sixth-leading scorer in Division I this season, appeared to suffer an injury to his left wrist in the first half of Marquette's loss to Seton Hall in the Big East tournament last week.
"I've been seeing our athletic trainer each and every day about it," Howard said Wednesday. "Taking really good precautions with it, so I'm ready to go and I'll be perfectly fine for tomorrow."
Howard returned in the second half but struggled through his worst shooting game of the season, finishing 1-of-15 from the floor and missing four free throws in the final two minutes.
ESPN.com has Murray State as it's big "giant killer", taking down Marquette in the first round. Care to guess who their model had last year?
When in doubt, back Ja Morant, right?
He's the big reason why we make Murray State our top upset pick and why any Giant ought to fear facing the Racers -- in the first round or otherwise. We'll also just throw this out there: The team that occupied this spot last year was ... Loyola-Chicago.
