David Joplin - Attempts to step up Joplin accumulated 12 points (4-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 73-57 loss to UConn. Impact Joplin and Kameron Jones (13 points) led Marquette in scoring Saturday -- serving as a testament to UConn's overall impressive nature and synergistic defense. Joplin's volatility from beyond the arc is a swing factor in Marquette's postseason abilities, and the junior is shooting just 24.0 percent on 5.0 threes per game across his last five contests.
