No. 7 Marquette Aims to Defend Home Court Against Georgetown
No. 7 Marquette will look to stay undefeated at home and extend its winning streak to five games when it hosts Georgetown on Tuesday night in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the Hoyas bring momentum from their own five-game winning streak as they attempt to upset one of the nation’s top teams.
Marquette’s Stellar Form
The Golden Eagles (13-2, 4-0 Big East) have been dominant at Fiserv Forum this season, boasting a perfect 9-0 home record. Their latest victory came in a hard-fought 79-71 triumph over Creighton, where Kam Jones overcame a slow start to score 22 points, including 15 in the second half. Jones also contributed nine rebounds and five assists, showcasing his all-around impact.
Jones leads Marquette with 20.3 points and 6.5 assists per game, but the Golden Eagles have benefited from contributions across the roster. Stevie Mitchell scored 18 points against Creighton, 14 of which came in the first half, and has been a defensive stalwart with 12 steals in his last three games.
Mitchell’s defensive energy has been instrumental, earning praise from coach Shaka Smart.
“He’s just got this energy that’s unique to him that nobody else has,” Smart said. “Particularly when he’s in that Stevie mode that is superhuman.”
Marquette’s 4-0 start in Big East play is its best since the 2012-13 season, and the team’s depth and defensive tenacity make it a formidable opponent.
Georgetown’s Resurgence
Georgetown (12-2, 3-0 Big East) enters Tuesday’s matchup riding high after a 69-63 win over Xavier. The Hoyas have won five straight games, including all three of their conference matchups, and are starting to turn heads under new coach Ed Cooley.
Freshman guard Malik Mack was the hero against Xavier, scoring 20 of his season-high 26 points in the second half. Mack showcased his scoring versatility, capitalizing on midrange opportunities and making smart decisions with the ball.
“I felt like I did a really good job reading the defense, having a feel for the game and knowing where I could get my shots off or where I could find my teammates,” Mack said.
Micah Peavy recorded his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Thomas Sorber continues to lead the team in scoring with 15.4 points per game.

Key Matchups and Game Outlook
The game will likely hinge on how well Georgetown handles Marquette’s aggressive defense and home-court energy. Marquette’s ability to generate turnovers and capitalize on fast breaks could spell trouble for the Hoyas, who will need strong performances from Mack, Peavy, and Sorber to keep pace.
Georgetown will also need to find answers for Kam Jones, whose scoring and playmaking make him a matchup nightmare. If the Hoyas can limit Jones and disrupt Marquette’s offensive rhythm, they might have a chance to end the Golden Eagles’ home unbeaten streak.
Both teams bring significant momentum, but Marquette’s experience, depth, and home-court advantage make it the favorite in this Big East clash.
