Marquette’s offense comes alive in second half against Georgetown

At times, it was unclear which of the teams was winless in conference play. The first half was not pretty. But much like its last three games, Marquette flipped the switch in the second half.

This time the switch came on the offensive end. Marquette scored 61 points — behind two extensive offensive runs and strong shooting from beyond the arc — in the second half alone to take down Georgetown 95-68 Saturday afternoon at Fiserv Forum.

“Thought in the first half, our guys did a lot of really good things but we were missing a little bit of the connective tissue that allows us to be great on the defensive end,” head coach Shaka Smart said.
