If you like rollercoasters and Marquette Golden Eagles basketball, then you were in luck on Monday night.
Marquette jumped out to a 10 point lead in the first 10 minutes, trailed by 12 just eight minutes later, tied the game four minutes later, fell behind by six five minutes later, took a five point lead with under eight minutes to play, fell behind again, retook the lead with four seconds left, AND THEN got forced to overtime by a buzzer beater layup.
THIS ALL HAPPENED.
Overtime was a hoot as well, as Georgetown struck out to a four point lead in the first 90 seconds, but big time three-pointers from Markus Howard and Andrew Rowsey pushed Marquette back out in front.
