Golden Eagles survive at Georgetown despite 18-point deficit

Following Marquette’s nine-day holiday break, the Golden Eagles traveled to McDonough Arena and started off 2021 right breaking their three-game losing streak, beating the Georgetown Hoyas 64-60 Saturday night in comeback fashion.

“Our guys showed incredible fight and stick-to-it-tiveness against a good Georgetown team that played very well,” Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “We did not get off the start we wanted to and a lot of that was a result of how well Georgetown was playing. But our kids showed great resolve to stay with it and find ways to win.”

The first half started extremely slow.
