Georgetown’s trio of Rodney Pryor, Jessie Govan, and LJ Peak put on a show at the Verizon Center Saturday, as they combined for 63 points in an 80-62 Hoyas victory over Marquette. The Hoyas grabbed the lead three minutes into the game and maintained it to the final buzzer as Georgetown’s prowess on both sides of the ball propelled them to victory.
The defense held its own against Marquette, keeping the less-than-Golden Eagles to 62 points, a total just one point shy of the team’s previous season low. It did not help the Golden Eagles’ cause that they shot just 3-14 from behind the arc, but the worst lapses for Marquette came on defense.
