Georgetown vs. Marquette 2016 final score: Golden Eagles fend off Hoyas, survive 88-87

Luke Fischer sinks two free throws in the final second to give Marquette a 88-87 victory over Georgetown.

If your calendar didn't tell you today was March 1, the wild final seconds of this contest told you all you needed to know as Marquette defeated Georgetown 88-87 in a game that had five lead changes in the final minute of the game.

Marquette got off to an early lead by using their advantage in the frontcourt. The Hoyas have had issues inside since the Bradley Hayes injury. With Trey Mourning missing the trip to Milwaukee due to illness, their depth was even further exposed tonight.
