It’s an old cliche, but it’s not a tired one: Basketball is a game of runs. Everyone scores more than a few points in a basketball game, so it’s not about shutting your opponent out, it’s about putting together more positive runs than negative runs.
That’s what Marquette men’s basketball did on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum as they beat Georgetown, 77-66, to move to 17-9 on the season and 9-6 in Big East play.
With 8:25 left in the first half, Georgetown forward Aminu Mohammed splashed a pair of free throws to tie the ball game up at 23 points each.
