Your Georgetown Hoyas returned from a long Covid-induced break to face off against the Marquette Golden Eagles at the Capital One Center. While the Hoyas started relatively sharply, the lack of practice time over the last three weeks and the last-minute absences of Don Carey and Ryan Mutombo were far too much for the Hoyas to overcome, resulting in a decisive 92-64 loss.
The game began auspiciously enough. Malcolm Wilson converted on two layups, and Kaiden Rice hit one of his patented contested three-point shots. Aminu Mohammed had some difficulty scoring inside early, having two shots turned back by Marquette center Kur Kuath, but the Hoyas moved the ball well and led 9-8 with 15 minutes left in the first half.
