Down twelve points at halftime, the Marquette Golden Eagles shot a blistering 61.3% in the second half to pull out a 87-72 win over Georgetown at the Al McGuire Center.  It is the first Big East Conference victory for Marquette.

Marquette (6-10, 1-4 Big East) went cold in the first quarter, going without a basket for the final 4:58.  They trailed by as many as 18 points in the second quarter before chipping away to go down 12 at the half.

The Golden Eagles took their first lead with 5:20 left to play, then went on a 16-0 run to pull away.  The Golden Eagles scored a season high 35 points in the fourth quarter.

Freshman Allazia Blockton poured in 25 points to lead five Marquette players in double figures.
