Georgetown’s defense allows 71.6 points per game while scoring 75.6 points on average. The offense is rated 173rd, so they will need to figure out how to boost it in this situation.

The Marquette Golden Eagles won the regular season championship last year after winning 17 of their 20 Big East games. Although they will face more challenging opponents in the postseason, they will only improve their NCAA Tournament seeding with one more strong regular season. But the Golden Eagles’ Big East debut got off to a slow start as they lost 72-57 to Providence on the road. The Golden Eagles will probably fall out of the Top 10 after the loss. With 21 points and 9 rebounds in the contest, Tyler Kolek commanded Marquette, and Kam Jones added 13 points as well. Marquette’s awful shooting was the game’s narrative. This includes 26% in the 2nd half, the Golden Eagles’ field goal percentage was a pitiful 32%. They will need to work on this for the upcoming game.
