Andrew Rowsey scored nine of Marquette's 12 points in overtime as the Golden Eagles rallied for a 90-86 victory over Georgetown in a Big East game on Monday night in Washington.
Rowsey and teammate Sam Hauser tied for the game high with 28 points apiece.
Rowsey snapped an 86-86 deadlock on a jumper with 34 seconds remaining in overtime. After that, he hit two free throws that gave Marquette (17-12, 8-9 Big East) a four-point lead with 11 seconds left.
Georgetown (15-13, 5-12) lost its third consecutive game.

Georgetown's Jonathan Mulmore raced down the floor and forced overtime with a layup that tied the game at 78.
Jessie Govan led the Hoyas with 25 points.
Marquette led for the first part of the game and held a 28-22 edge with just over nine minutes left before the break. Georgetown then reeled off 17 of the next 19 points for 39-30 lead with 4:21 remaining in the half.
The Golden Eagles used three Rowsey 3-pointers late in the first half and cut the deficit to 46-40 at halftime.
