Feb. 21, 2009 | Washington, D.C. -- The Marquette Golden Eagles have reached uncharted waters.

Behind 23 points from Wesley Matthews, 22 from Jerel McNeal and 17 from Lazar Hayward, 10th-ranked MU knocked off the Georgetown Hoyas, 78-72, on Saturday afternoon at the Verizon Center.

The victory was the Golden Eagles' 12th in Big East play, besting their previous high of 11 set last season.

MU's highest total since joining the 16-team league four years ago, the 12 victories also allowed it to continue breathing down the neck of the Connecticut Huskies, who travel to the Bradley Center for a huge showdown on Wednesday night.

The Golden Eagles (23-4, 12-2) out-rebounded Georgetown (14-11, 5-9), 32-29, and committed just six turnovers, helping offset 36.7% shooting in the second half and allowing the Hoyas to shoot 50.9% for the game. »Read Full Blog Post"
