The Marquette Golden Eagles beat the Creighton Bluejays 106-104 and as you might expect from such a high-scoring game, there were more than a few players that stood out from the crowd.
Markus Howard (Marquette)
It's hard to come up with a better game this season than what Markus Howard did against Creighton. The Marquette guard scored 53 points (that's not a typo) while hitting 10-of-14 from 3-point land.
Ty-Shon Alexander (Creighton)
Because Howard scored 53, it's hard to be impressed by Alexander's 23 points and five rebounds. He still had himself a heck of a game.
Words to live by: when inbounding a basketball with .6 left and a 3-pt lead, make sure someone touches the ball.

What a crushing loss for Creighton.
No.21 Marquette wins 106-104.
Markus Howard scores half of his team’s points. 53.
Davion Mintz (Creighton)
There might not have been a bigger surprise performance than Mintz's 21 points. He came into the game averaging less than nine points per contest.
