FILE - In this Jan. 29, 2020, file photo, Marquette's Markus Howard (0) shoots against Xavier's Jason Carter, obscured at right, during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Cincinnati. Howard will leave Marquette as one of the most dynamic scorers in Big East history. He has the most career points of any active Division I player and leads the nation in points per game this season. The one achievement that has eluded the 5-foot-11 senior guard is an NCAA Tournament victory. Howard is seeking one last chance to rectify that as he caps an otherwise illustrious college career.
