No. 15 Marquette comes back against Georgetown without Howard, Morrow
For the third time in one week, No. 15 Marquette men’s basketball tight-roped its way to a BIG EAST win in the final minute, this time defeating Georgetown 74-71 Tuesday night.
The Hoyas had a chance to win in the final seconds. They had the ball with the shot clock off and trailing by one point.
As James Akinjo went up for a shot on the left side, freshman Brendan Bailey leaped to block the shot and send the ball out of bounds. The Hoyas turned to Akinjo to win the game again with about three seconds left, but sophomore center Theo John blocked the shot.
