No. 21 Marquette Eyes Another Sweep of Georgetown

No. 21 Marquette travels to Georgetown on Saturday night looking to extend its dominance in Washington, D.C., where the Golden Eagles have won seven straight games since 2018.

Marquette Seeking Another Strong Performance

The Golden Eagles (21-7, 12-5 Big East) got back on track with an 82-52 rout of Providence on Tuesday. Kam Jones and Ben Gold led the way with 17 points apiece, while Stevie Mitchell added 14.

Marquette was red-hot from beyond the arc, draining 17 three-pointers on 41 attempts—both season highs.

“It was the way the game worked out,” Marquette coach Shaka Smart said. “It wasn’t by design. We don’t ever go into a game saying, ‘Let’s set a record on this or that.’ Maybe on the defensive end, but not on the offensive end.”

On defense, Marquette held Providence to just 33.9% shooting, including 6-of-26 from deep (23.1%). With the win, Marquette remains in third place in the Big East standings, trailing 13-4 Creighton by one game and sitting one game ahead of 11-6 UConn.

One conference foe that has struggled against Smart’s Golden Eagles is Georgetown. Marquette is 7-0 against the Hoyas under Smart and will be aiming for its fourth consecutive season sweep.

Georgetown Looking for a Turnaround

Georgetown (16-12, 7-10 Big East) enters the matchup after a 93-79 loss at UConn on Wednesday. The Hoyas have dropped 10 of their last 14 games and are adjusting to life without star freshman Thomas Sorber (14.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg), who is out for the season due to turf toe surgery.

Micah Peavy has stepped up in Sorber’s absence, scoring a game-high 25 points against UConn. Peavy leads Georgetown with 16.5 points per game and has scored at least 20 in six straight outings, averaging 24.2 points during that span.

“I get very frustrated,” Georgetown coach Ed Cooley said. “Micah should have been the national player of the week, let alone the Big East player of the week. This kid deserves way more credit.”

Peavy has played all 40 minutes in four consecutive games and five of the last six, posting two double-doubles and recording 19 steals during that span.

Marquette Won First Meeting

Marquette defeated Georgetown 74-66 at home on Jan. 7, rallying from a 14-point first-half deficit behind a 27-point performance from Chase Ross. With both teams battling for postseason positioning, expect another hard-fought contest in Washington.
