Markus Howard scored 42 points, his second-highest mark of the season
WASHINGTON - Markus Howard poured in 42 points as visiting Marquette picked up a much-needed 84-80 win over Georgetown on Saturday afternoon at Capital One Arena.
The Golden Eagles (13-5, 3-3 BIG EAST) also used 13 points from Sacar Anim and a near double-double from Jayce Johnson (eight points and seven rebounds) to even their conferene record through six games.
Marquette used some clutch free throw shooting down to stretch to hold off the Hoyas, who shot 50.8 percent from the floor (30-of-59). Both teams were fairly efficient on the day as the Golden Eagles shot 46.9 percent from the field and only turned the ball over six times.
Sophomore Mac McClung posted 24 points for Georgetown (12-7, 2-4 BIG EAST), which also recieved a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds from transfer Omer Yurtseven.
Marquette returns to action at 8 p.m. Central time on Tuesday against St. John's at Fiserv Forum. The Golden Eagles will play in support of the fight against cancer and will honor the life and career of the legendary Al McGuire, who was a student-athlete at St. John's before leading Marquette to an NCAA Championship as a hall of fame coach in 1977.Â
