Whiplash Win: Hoyas upend Marquette, 86-84
Welcome to the madness! After a performance three days ago that created the illusion and functional equivalent of a bye week, your Georgetown Hoyas blew back onto the tournament radar in a big way, upsetting the Marquette Golden Eagles with a rough & tumble upset win. James Akinjo and Mac McClung had 25 and 23 points respectively, with the former making clutch shots throughout and the latter drawing fouls at a critical juncture late in the game when Marquette’s offense had stalled. That duo, along with defensive support from Jagan Mosely, were able to hold the ever-threatening Markus Howard to 25 points.
