Marquette women’s basketball fought through a lousy shooting night and a plethora of turnovers to defeat Georgetown on Friday night by a final score of 80-70. The win elevates the Golden Eagles to 21-7 overall and 12-5 in league play.
Combine MU’s victory with Villanova’s loss to DePaul and the Golden Eagles have clinched the #3 seed in the Big East tournament. In fact, with one set of games left to be played, seeds #3 through #6 are all locked in place, so we know that Marquette will play #6 seed Georgetown (what a coincidence) next Sunday at 2:30pm in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.
