Marquette In-Game Thread

By Johnny

Hey everybody. We’re about half an hour away from tipoff between the Georgetown Hoyas and the Marquette Golden Eagles. Right now these are two teams headed in opposite directions as the Hoyas have lost their last four, including three straight conference losses. Marquette, on the the other hand, have won ten straight and are yet to drop a game in the Big East. Hopefully Georgetown can reverse both ofa these trends with a big victory on the road today.

I’ll be checking in with updates as soon as I get them. Post your thoughts in the comments.

    im watching this game on masn and im not sure the louisville-west virginia game is gonna finish in time for me to see the start.


  2. Emily Says:

    I’m in the same boat DJ….hoping that the game doesn’t go into overtime


  3. DJ Says:

    good to see summers in there and scoring


  4. Johnny Says:

    Same starters for the Hoyas (including Summers) and after the Hoyas lose the tip, both teams trade misses, Marquette ball.


  5. Johnny Says:

    Summers hits a three to start the scoring, but Haywood gets a bucket, 3-2.


  6. Mike Says:

    DaJuan Summers hits a three pointer, and on the next possession gets 5 points off a basket, missed free throw then after the offensive rebound hitting the three.


  7. DJ Says:

    nice we are making some threes today, lets get stops.


  8. Zo Says:

    MASN is a disgrace…”Official Netwrok of the Hoyas?”, yeah, but we’ll join their games in progress. Unacceptable.


  9. Mike Says:

    11-5 Hoyas lead at the 16 minute timeout of the first half.


  10. Mike Says:

    Nikita and Jason Clark enter the game for Freeman and Sapp.


  11. DJ Says:

    can this stupid louisville game end???


  12. DJ Says:

    dajuan is playing like a beast today it sounds like.


  13. DJ Says:

    Nikita!!!


  14. Emily Says:

    Finally, the game on MASN.


  15. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas are hitting from outside pretty well so far. Summers, Freeman, and Nikita have all hit from downtown.


  16. Emily Says:

    I was getting a little confused there listening to Rich….considering he said that DePaul won the tip.


  17. Zo Says:

    Chvotkin also said, Hoyas lead 21-11, 3ptr for McNeal cuts the lead to 21-12. Ah, the old 1 pt 3ptr


  18. Mike Says:

    Hoyas turn the ball over which leads to the 12 minute timeout. Hoyas up 21-14 with 1:53 left in the first half.


  19. Zo Says:

    It’s nice to have a lead, I know it won’t last forever but at least we have a little margin for error.


  20. Zo Says:

    Must be 11:53 right Mike?


  21. DJ Says:

    nice move from sapp there


  22. Emily Says:

    Nice Jessie!


  23. Mike Says:

    Yeah, my bad, Zo. Now 10:06 left, Hoyas still up seven, 23-16.


  24. Emily Says:

    Good stop… now let’s get a hoop.


  25. Johnny Says:

    Summers falls hard coming down with a rebound and he’s limping as he gets up.


  26. Emily Says:

    Why does DaJuan always get so beat up?


  27. Johnny Says:

    Looks like he’s gonna fight it off as he stays in there. He might have bruise tomorrow.


  28. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas have seven team fouls, and it’ll be one and one for Marquette after the break. Hoyas up 25-21 with 7:59 to go in the first.


  29. DJ Says:

    this is incredible…7 fouls on us already??? that was garbage, why bail him out wiht a call?


  30. Emily Says:

    Hopefully the refs will start evening out the foul calls since it’s awfully one-sided so far.


  31. DJ Says:

    monroe has really been struggling these past few games.


  32. Johnny Says:

    Three for Marquette and the Gold Eagles take the lead 28-27.


  33. Emily Says:

    Big shot Austin.


  34. DJ Says:

    bs call there, just trying to even the fouls


  35. Emily Says:

    Thanks for finally calling a foul on them.


  36. DJ Says:

    his feet arent even moving. horrendous


  37. Emily Says:

    He was trapped…how could he have moved?


  38. Emily Says:

    We can’t leave these guys open outside the arc.


  39. Johnny Says:

    Game’s tied 38-38 with 2:31 to go in the half. Monroe will be taking two free throws after the official timeout.


  40. DJ Says:

    alright sims, need some good minutes today


  41. Johnny Says:

    Summers showed some post moves there and he got a baby hook to go down.


  42. DJ Says:

    these refs are totally horrrrrrrible.


  43. Johnny Says:

    McNeal misses at the end of the half, so it’s 42-42 at the break. The Hoyas look much improved on offense, scoring inside and out, passing the ball and waiting for the good shot. It’s the defense that still isn’t up to Georgetown levels. We’ll have to see what happens in the second half, but the team looks much improved over the past two losses. Marquette is a contender.


  44. Zo Says:

    So they’re shooting 59% for the half, they’ve got to cool off in the vespers…of course we’ll be lucky to keep shooting 68%.


  45. Zo Says:

    Marquette can score though, this isn’t like giving up 42 points in a half to Cincy or the hall


  46. DJ Says:

    lets go hoyas!!!


  47. Johnny Says:

    Freeman starts the scoring in the second half. Georgetown up 44-42


  48. DJ Says:

    just hold on to the ball


  49. DJ Says:

    man, gotta come up with these loose balls. and more fts for them. lets go guys


  50. DJ Says:

    how do you call that not shooting? its all one motion


  51. Johnny Says:

    I can’t believe it. Summers got a baseline dunk without ending up on the floor! And it went in!


  52. Zo Says:

    In honor of cancer awareness week the coaches wear basketball shoes with their suits, and the refs wear blindfolds.


  53. Zo Says:

    Wright needs to get a clue, driving 1 on 3 against this team? Come on dude, wait for your teammates!


  54. Johnny Says:

    Incredible fast break led by Nikita and Jason Clark.


  55. DJ Says:

    no foul there ever and then they call one on clark??? ridiculous


  56. DJ Says:

    we are in trouble again. we are just getting freaked out


  57. Johnny Says:

    Little run for Marquette gives them a seven point lead, 59-52 and Coach Thompson needs a timeout.


  58. DJ Says:

    no one wanted to shoot the ball that time.


  59. DJ Says:

    there is no foul there at all…its very sad.


  60. DJ Says:

    come on now greg, need the fts


  61. Emily Says:

    Come on, Greg. Let’s get these free throws.


  62. Emily Says:

    Big show there Chris.


  63. Emily Says:

    We need to start getting some stops.


  64. DJ Says:

    wow i cant even watch anymore


  65. Emily Says:

    Thanks for that foul call now.


  66. DJ Says:

    these refs can go to hell…give me a break, they then call this stupid bump that has no impact as if it makes up for anything


  67. Johnny Says:

    Huge sequence there. Nikita gets called for an offensive foul, so no points for Greg. Then Matthews hits a three to give Marquette a 13 point lead instead of it being just 8.


  68. Emily Says:

    Seriously, I mean we are finally playing a decent game and we get taken out of it by lopsided calls.


  69. Emily Says:

    Come on Chris. We need these to stay in it.


  70. DJ Says:

    come on hoyas, lets make these fts, get a few stops and see what happens…dont quit


  71. Emily Says:

    Come on Hoyas….Defense!


  72. Emily Says:

    What a crappy late call.


  73. Emily Says:

    Good rebound there, Clark.


  74. DJ Says:

    looks like we arent gonna be able to pull this one out.


  75. Johnny Says:

    Nikita has fouled out, and with under five minutes to go, the Hoyas are down by 14. Not looking good for Georgetown right now.


  76. Emily Says:

    These calls are unacceptable. That ball was out of bounds on them, and then they call a touch foul.


  77. DJ Says:

    its good to make these shots, but why not take them when we couldnt score? at least try to shoot it.


  78. Johnny Says:

    The Hoyas need to work on keeping control of the ball. They were right in this game until a stretch in the second half when they had turnovers and quick empty possessions. I wouldn’t be surprised if Marquette had 10-15 more possessions than the Hoyas.


  79. Johnny Says:

    That’s the final 94-82. Not good for Georgetown, going 0-3 on their road trip.
