A program-best seven-game winning streak to start the BIG EAST season came to an end on Friday when Marquette fell to Georgetown in blowout fashion in a 85-58 loss.
The Golden Eagles went ice-cold offensively in the second quarter, scoring just four points. They shot 2 of 13 from the field and committed nine turnovers in their lowest scoring quarter of the season. The scoring drought resulted in a 41-26 halftime deficit, the team’s first halftime deficit of the conference schedule.
Things did not go much better for Marquette in the third quarter, as the defense gave up 27 points while only scoring 11.
