Marquette at South Florida, 7:00PM ET
As Jerel McNeal moves closer toward becoming Marquette’s all-time leading scorer, his play seems to be getting better.
After facing the worst team in the Big East in their last game, McNeal and the No. 8 Golden Eagles likely won’t get much of a tougher challenge on Friday when they visit South Florida.
McNeal has scored at least 21 points in his last six games and is averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 assists and 3.7 steals in the last three. He led Marquette (20-2, 9-0) to its 12th straight win Tuesday, finishing with 26 points, six assists, five steals and a career-high four blocked shots in a 76-61 victory at DePaul.
"I never try to impact the game," said McNeal, who has recorded nine of his career-high 17 blocks in the last three games. "I want to have a variety of ways I can impact the game, but anytime you have that versatility, you can help your team a lot. It becomes a situation where the opposing team has to account for me at all times."
McNeal’s performance on Tuesday gave him 1,731 career points. He needs five more to surpass Butch Lee for second on Marquette’s all-time list, and with 43 points he’ll take over as the Golden Eagles’ top scorer, moving past George Thompson, who set the record in 1969.
