Marquette Supporting Nike N7 Initiative

Marquette will wear Nike N7 shooting shirts in warmups and shoes (Jordan "Why Not?" Zer0.1 Low N7) during the game against Presbyterian.

The N7 collection supports Nike's commitment to get kids moving through the N7 Fund, which supports organizations to provide sport and physical activity programming to kids in Native American and Aboriginal communities so that they can lead healthier, happier and more successful lives. Since its inception in 2009, the N7 Fund has awarded $5.6 million in grants to 243 communities and organizations, reaching more than 420,000 youth.

Hausers Team Up On Offense At Indiana

Marquette's brother tandem of Joey and Sam Hauser carried the load offensively at Indiana, much like they did together in high school en route to a pair of state titles.

The duo combined for 36 points (18 each) on 13-of-27 shooting from the floor and also chipped in eight rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Joey Hauser has now posted personal bests in scoring in each of the last two games and over the course of those contests has averaged 14.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while combining to shoot 58.8 percent (10-of-17) from the field.

Presbyterian Familiar Non-League Opponent

When Marquette takes on Presbyterian on Saturday at Fiserv Forum, it will mark the fourth appearance in Milwaukee for the Blue Hose since 2008.

The Golden Eagles have claimed each of the previous three meetings, most recently an 84-66 decision at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Dec. 27, 2015.

Marquette is 7-1 all-time against programs currently in the Big South Conference and will face Charleston Southern on Nov. 27.

Dexter Akanno Newest Family Member

Marquette added prep guard Dexter Akanno to the roster for the 2019-20 campaign.

Akanno averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists as a senior at Valencia (Calif.) High School in 2017-18. The Vikings advanced to the semifinals of the CIF-SS Division 2A playoffs and Akanno was named All-Santa Clara Valley First Team. He is currently attending prep school at Blair Academy in New Jersey this season.

As a junior, Akanno earned Foothill League Co-Player of the Year accolades after averaging a team-best 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in league play. He helped guide his team to a share of the league title in 2016-17.
