Ranked 21st in the nation, Marquette will look to bolster their NCAA Tournament resume with a win on the road against Georgetown. Shaka Smart’s squad, led by Kam Jones (18.6 PPG), David Joplin (13.3 PPG), Stevie Mitchell (11.0 PPG), and Chase Ross (10.7 PPG), has lost three straight road games in February. 

On the other hand, Georgetown sits on the outside looking in of Joe Lunardi’s bubble, and desperately needs a marquee win to put them back in the conversation. The Hoyas are led by Micah Peavy (16.5 PPG), Thomas Sorber (14.5 PPG), Jayden Epps (12.7 PPG), and Harvard transfer Malik Mack (12.5 PPG).

Marquette has a tendency to start slow, and the environment Saturday night isn’t going to do them any favors. Georgetown is desperate for a win, and the crowd will be deafening from the jump for their last weekend home game of the season. Leading scorer Micah Peavy has been feeling it recently, averaging 24.2 PPG in his last six. Expect the Hoyas to come out firing on all cylinders Saturday night.
