ON THE RECORD
"My guys fought, they fought hard. But when your two best players are not there, it's hard to generate offense. My guys didn't give up."
 - Head Coach Patrick Ewing
 
HOYA HIGHLIGHTS

• Jagan Mosely led the Hoyas with 19 points, finishing 5-of-10 from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line.
• Jahvon Blair finished with 18 points, hitting four shots from beyond the arc, and Jamorko Pickett rounded those in double figures with 12 points.
• Pickett and Mosely grabbed six rebounds apiece, while Blair and Terrell Allen each dished out four assists.
• The Hoyas shot 41.9 (26-62) percent from the field, including 46.7 (7-15) percent from downtown.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Despite a quick start from Marquette, Georgetown cut it to three (7-4) early following back-to-back jumpers from Allen.
• Marquette led  by as many as 20 (38-18) in the first but the Hoyas chipped away late to close the half on a 14-5 run sparked by a Pickett free throw, followed by a pair from Mosely and capped with a conventional three-point play from Mosely. The guard trio of Mosely, Allen and Blair contributed 10 points to the run.
• Early in the second, Pickett tallied five straight behind a driving layup where he drew the foul and sunk his free throw followed by another bucket to cut the deficit to 10.
• However, MU staged an 8-0 run before a Blair triple ended the run but the Golden Eagles poured in the points eventually winning 93-72 at the final whistle.

 
OF NOTE

• Mosely's three assists give him 331 for his career, placing him 14th all-time at Georgetown.
• Blair's four 3-pointers gives him 134 for his career, which is good for 14th place on GU's career list.
