Joplin scores 20 as No. 6 Marquette rolls to 81-51 victory over Georgetown

Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — After its Big East title defense got off to a disappointing start, No. We just didn’t feel like we were ourselves.” Marquette has won 18 straight home games overall and 19 consecutive Big East home contests. Marquette’s last Big East home loss was a double-overtime game with Creighton on Jan. 1, 2022. “Because right now our defensive mindset is pathetic.” Marquette had a lackluster start and didn’t take its first lead until the game was over nine minutes old, but the Golden Eagles stretched the margin to double digits shortly afterward. That’s exactly how bad I feel.” An 11-0 run early in the second half helped Marquette build the margin to 25, and the Golden Eagles poured it on from there.
