Really a well played game at the Bradley Center today as No. 8 Marquette is tied 42-42 with No. 23 Georgetown. The Hoyas started out strong and led by 10 just seven minutes into the game but Marquette got timely shooting from Lazar Hayward (14 points, 5-of-7 field goals) and Jerel McNeal (14 points, 3-of-5 3-pointers). The Golden Eagles used a late 16-6 run to control the end of the half.

Marquette had absolutely no answer for DaJuan Summers in the first half, as he scored 11 of his team’s first 14 points. He finished the half with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting. Austin Freeman (10 points) and Greg Monroe (eight points) also led Georgetown.

This one’s too close to call, both teams shot lights-out in the first half. Georgetown was 17-of-26 (65.4 percent) from the floor and Marquette was 13-of-23 (56.5 percent). Related fact from the Georgetown media guide: Of the last 90 teams to play Georgetown, 77 shot below 45 percent. So…there’s that.

We’ll have more when this one wraps up.
