The stat of the game comes from near the bottom of the HD box score - Points after steal: Marquette 19, Georgetown 2.
Almost six minutes into the game, it felt like the Hoyas' good feelings from the previous two wins at home would carry over to the impressively raucous Bradley Center. On the back of a pair of Hollis Thompson three-point shots and some sound defense, the Hoyas led 12-9 with the ball and Marquette starting to scramble. An inside-outside play left Markel Starks wide open from behind the arc, but the ball rattled out. Two minutes later with the Hoyas ahead 14-13, Jason Clark had a similar look that also wouldn't drop.
That was the opening the Eagles needed, as they scored on their next three trips down the court and started ratcheting up the pressure to rattle the Hoyas. Davante Gardner [8 pts, 4 oreb] returned today for Maquette after missing several games due to an injured ankle and used his size to control the paint in limited action.
A horrible performance at the line [6/13 FT] while the Eagles made theirs [14/15 FT] was the obvious difference between the teams in the Lift-Off half, but the Hoyas struggled to make shots from the floor as well. Georgetown made only 2/8 layups, while taking 20 of 30 field goal attempts as jumpers [3/10 2FG jumpers, 3/10 3FG]. And perhaps that's the real difference between the two games overall - the Hoyas shot an amazing 21/25 2FGs at the Verizon Center, but 20/45 2FGs today.
The second half was effectively a stalemate. After giving up the eleven of the first thirteen points of the second half to fall into a 17-point hole, Georgetown was able to answer with a 12-3 run of their own. From there, the lead bounced between 8 and 14 points, as Jae Crowder always seemed to be able to rally his troops when the Hoyas made any sort of push.
And so the Hoyas will end the season as a 5-seed for the Big East tournament, facing the winner of Pittsburgh-Rutgers at 2pm on Wednesday.

Any idea how rare a 20 shot FTA discrepancy between two teams in bigeast play is? Seems to me that doesn't happen very often?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, but I'm guessing Mike Rice would know.
DeleteMarquette shot 10 FTs to GU's 2 in the last 2:30 of the game, so that has skewed the final stats a bit. Sure the refs called the game a bit more favorably for the Eagles, but I didn't see it as the difference-maker.
but that 10-2 FT discrepancy wasn't due to G'town fouling on purpose, it was because G'town/the refs had gotten into the double bonus early.
Deletei also don't see it as the difference-maker, but it was notable.
Notable in that our 3 best players today were limited by severe foul trouble.
