Career-high 32 points from Blockton give Golden Eagles second straight BIG EAST Championship berth

John Steppe, Assistant Sports Editor • March 5, 2018
Most teams could not afford to allow a 7-0 run in the fourth quarter of a BIG EAST tournament game. But most teams don’t have junior guard Allazia Blockton. “She has that ability to take over any game at any given point,” Kieger said. The BIG EAST Player of the Year did just that. Blockton’s career-high 32 points and 11 rebounds put Marquette 24 hours away from a second consecutive BIG EAST Tournament title.

John Steppe, Assistant Sports Editor • March 4, 2018
Marquette junior Amani Wilborn has always loved the month of March. “I love March, period,” Wilborn said. “Just being born in March and March Madness.” Last March, Marquette needed someone to step up in order to give the Golden Eagles their first BIG EAST title in program history and Wilborn answered that call with a double-double in the quarterfinals and 20-plus point performances in both the semifinals and conference championship to be named the tournament's most outstanding player.

Rowsey finishes regular season career with defining performance

Andrew Goldstein, Sports Content Executive • March 3, 2018
Creighton made a mistake against Marquette while down one point with 3:20 to go in the second half. Teams make these micro-issues all the time but usually get away with it unscathed. Not this time. As Marquette senior Andrew Rowsey dribbled the ball about 30 feet from the hoop, sophomore Sam Hauser ran over to set a screen for him before quickly scurrying toward the basket. A miscommunication between Bluejay guards Davion Mintz and Marcus Foster left both of them taking a few steps in Hauser’s direction, leaving Rowsey alone.
