#MUBB Hosts Georgetown Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. CT

The Marquette University men's basketball team (17-9, 7-7 BIG EAST) returns to Fiserv Forum to open a two-game homestand on Wednesday, Feb. 26 when the team hosts Georgetown (15-12, 5-9 BIG EAST). FS1 will feature the national television broadcast, with Brandon Gaudin (play-by-play) and Donny Marshall (analyst) calling the action. Following Wednesday's outing, the Golden Eagles will wrap up the home portion of the regular season on Feb. 29 against No. 13/13 Seton Hall. Marquette's three-member senior class of Sacar Anim, Markus Howard and Jayce Johnson will be recognized during a pregame ceremony.

Narrow Margin Separates All-Time Series

Marquette owns a slim 15-13 advantage in the all-time series, with each team winning on the road in the home-and-home series in 2018-19.

All but two of the matchups have come since Marquette joined the BIG EAST in 2005-06.

The programs first met during the 1941-42 campaign and the Hoyas were able to claim a 35-34 victory. The next meeting didn't come until the 1971-72 season and Marquette posted a winning 88-44 decision. The series resumed in 2005-06 and the squads have met on 24 occasions since that year.

Regular Season Enters Final Two Weeks

The Golden Eagles have four games remaining in the regular season, with two this week at Fiserv Forum prior to a pair of road contests in advance of the BIG EAST Tournament March 11-14.

Marquette claimed the first meeting against three of the programs, defeating Georgetown on the road and both DePaul and St. John's at home. MU is looking to move up the crowded middle of the BIG EAST standings to avoid playing in the first round of the league tourney on March 11.

MU enters the week in fifth place in the 10-team conference, with the ability to finish as high as third and as low as ninth.
