Marquette Loses To Top Seeded Georgetown In The Big East Semifinals

The score at the end of 15 minutes at Cooper Field back on Thursday night was ever so slightly misleading. With one quarter played, #4 seed Marquette was sitting in a 2-2 tie with top seed and #2 team in the country Georgetown. 45 minutes to go, and it seemed like the Hoyas might be in for a fight to get out of this Big East semifinal and into Saturday’s championship game.

That, uh, was not the case. Underneath that 2-2 tie, Georgetown had outshot the Golden Eagles 13-4 through the first 15 minutes, indicating the the Hoyas were controlling the game to a much steeper degree than the scoreboard indicated.
