Johnson and Howard hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cap an 11-0 run to start the game and Rowsey's with 14:30 left in the half made it 16-2 and Marquette (10-3) never trailed. Georgetown used runs of 8-0 and 10-3 to make it 26-all on Tre Campbell's 3 about seven minutes later, but another 3-pointer by Rowsey capped a 12-2 spurt that spanned halftime and gave the Golden Eagles a 50-37 lead with 15 minutes to go. Georgetown twice pulled within eight in the final 3:08, but would get no closer.
Rodney Pryor led the Hoyas (8-5) with 23 points.
