The Marquette Golden Eagles fell to the Georgetown Hoyas 63-55 last night. This loss knocked Marquette out of the top spot in the Big East.

Jamil Wilson scored 13 points in the game and Chris Otule scored 14 points and had 3 blocks.

The turning point of the game was when Golden Eagles head coach Buzz Williams was called for a technical foul in the second half. He was disputing a call that could have gone in favor of either team. Georgetown’s Otto Porter made both free throws then a floater to make the lead 41-34.

Marquette had 12 first half turnovers and no offensive rebounds in the first 20 minutes. This was a big factor in the loss to Georgetown.

Marquette will face Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Marquette beat Georgetown by just one point to win their second Big East game of the season, 49-48.

The first part of the game saw great defense from both teams but also scoring inconsistency. The Golden Eagles misses 11 of its first 13 shots and the Hoyas missed 10 of their first 12 shots.

In the last minutes of the game, Marquette was leading 49-46 when Trent Lockett fouled Georgetown’s Greg Whittington at the three point line. Whittington made his first two free throws then Marquette’s coach Buzz Williams called a time out. Whittington missed the third free throw for Marquette to stay ahead 49-48 and that’s how the game would end.

Marquette will take on Pittsburgh next Saturday at 11 am CST.

Coach Buzz should be proud of his two seniors, Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom as the defeated the Georgetown Hoyas on Senior Day at the Bradley Center.

Jae Crowder scored 26 points and had 14 rebounds while Darius Johnson-Odom added 17 points. The Golden Eagles forced 15 turnovers and had 24 points off the turnovers.They also were 33 of 45 from the line.

Davante Gardner also logged some minutes in this game. Gardner has been sideline with a sprained knee. He had six points and eight rebounds but he was noticeably limping when he went to the sideline.

Marquette led most game but Georgetown made a few rally attempts to get as close as nine points. The Golden Eagles were able to hold them off to win 83-69. This win secured then the number two spot in the Big East tournament. Marquette is slated to play Thursday, March 8 at 6 p.m. CST at Madison Square Garden. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. Stay tuned for Big East tournament coverage.

It’s senior day in Milwaukee as the Marquette Golden Eagles take on the Georgetown Hoyas.

Marquette is coming off an abismal loss to Cincinnati but are still assured one of the top spots in the Big East tournament. The loss on Wednesday ended a five game winning streak for the Golden Eagles.

The last time Marquette faced Georgetown, the Hoyas overcame a 17 point deficit to beat Marquette 73-70. Let’s hope Marquette’s transition defense looks better this time around.

Georgetown is coming off a win over Notre Dame. They held the Fighting Irish to 33 percent shooting on all field goal attempts and 18 percent on 3-point shooting.

Marquette is back at home and it’s senior day. Let’s hope that Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom get a win on their last regular season game.
