[ge1974]

Best passing I have seen all year during this 4 minute segment.

[IWB]

Did not realize it but Matt Valasquez said that this is the first time MU has used this starting lineup.

Misix stat of game - Georgetown is 0-9 when opponent shoots 42% or better from the field. MU has shot 43% in Bug East, 45% on the season.

[IWB]

Georgetown with 12 points in the paint early on, Luke & Henry have to work together to defend!

[IWB]

Less than nine minutes in and Luke already has 10 points. Good ball movement is the reason.

[TedBaxter]

Team has a lot of energy through the first 10 minutes. Hope they can keep it going.

[IWB]

At the 10:08 mark MU takes a 27-19 lead, could be 28-19 after the TV timeout.




MU outrebounding Georgetown 11-5

MU has 11 assists on 12 baskets - best so far this year

MU has 22 points in paint

MU shooting 75% from field

[ge1974]

Henry and Luke already have taken more shots on this game than they did in he entire Villanova game.

[IWB]

MU still shooting 73.7%.

Up on rebounds 12-7

[IWB]

Marquette already has 32 points in the paint.

Marquette only has 3 turnovers.

[IWB]

MU going nuts - up 46-31 with 2:00 to go in first half.

Luke Fischer with 17, MU shooting 69% and still has only 3 turnovers.

[IWB]

Traci Carter - 0 turnovers, 7 assists.

[ge1974]

Yes! Traci has been sensational during the first half.

[TedBaxter]

MU needs to dig in better on D in the 2nd half. 17 assists in the first half.

[DCwarrior]

Defense is pretty bad so far in the 2nd half

[pbiflyer]

No love from the officials.

[IWB]

This is turning into a trainwreck!

[DCwarrior]

Twisted ankle. Didn't look horrible on TV but I doubt he's returning today and maybe not next game

[DCwarrior]

Why doesn't Wojo play more zone D? We can't guard them man to man

[IWB]

Henry's injury looked to be left ankle, think he turned it. Was helped to locker room by Todd Smith and Brandon Yoder, looked like he was walking on it with help.

[DCwarrior]

JJJ is really good attacking the rim with his right hand

[DCwarrior]

Unbelievably bad TO by Hannif

[AbovetheRim]

Buycks Jr really has killed us in a number of games with his meltdowns in the final 2 minutes this year.

[DCwarrior]

Great play design by Wojo at the end and clutch free throws by Luke

[AbovetheRim]

Never been more proud of Luke. Absolutely clutch!

[ge1974]

What a finish! All hail Wojo! All hail Luke! All hail the entire team!

[unclejohn]

Ho Hum. Another routine win.

[DCwarrior]

We should get used to the lineup we saw the last 7 minutes of the game because that's our lineup next year.

[Markedman]

Great play design by Wojo at the end and clutch free throws by Luke

Wojo showed me something there. Really good stuff.

Happy for Luke.

Sucks for Henry .

Our lack of size without Henry is just glaring.

[dubs98]

Well done by the team to not fold with Henry going out. Numerous huge shots. Couldn't stop cope land but kept responding. Georgetown could not miss in the end but they stayed strong. Huge props to wojo. Right before the play I wondered why the hell Luke would be in there in a situation in which there would be no way of us getting the ball to him in a spot he could do something with. What the f do I know. Great win for the team and wojo.

[MUfan12]

JJ and Duane played like men down the stretch. Traci and Luke were sensational as well. Really impressive win after losing Henry. Great team win.
