Marquette enters their biggest game of the year on their biggest roll of the year.
This isn’t a big game for the Golden Eagles just because it’s a top 10 opponent. Facing Georgetown was always going to be a big deal this season after the Hoyas were picked to win the Big East and Marquette was picked to finish second. The luck of the draw (aka MU went to DC each of the past two seasons) meant that it would be a home game for Marquette that could end up deciding who comes away with the #1 seed in the Big East tournament if not sole ownership of the regular season title.
