Georgetown Knocks Off Marquette In Tournament Opener
Qudus Wahab had 19 points and seven rebounds in the Hoyas' win over Marquette.
Georgetown had seen this movie before and the Hoyas didn’t exactly enjoy the ending.
In their only other meeting with Marquette this season, back on Jan. 2, the Hoyas had sprinted to a 16-point lead at the half after holding the Golden Eagles to just 20 first-half points. It was Marquette’s lowest offensive output of the season to that point.
But Marquette pulled itself off the mat that day and came back with a vengeance in the second half to rally for a four-point victory over the Hoyas.
