Marquette flipped the switch in the second half, shooting 42 percent from the field in the second half. The team finished the game shooting 19 for 52 against the Hoyas.
Meanwhile the Golden Eagles held the Hoyas to 30-percent shooting after halftime, and Georgetown missed its last 10 shots of the game.
