MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Jimmy Butler made two free throws with 7.5 seconds left and Marquette finally won a close game, upsetting No. 12 Georgetown 62-59 on Wednesday night.
Chris Wright missed a 3-pointer that would tied it with 1 second left for the Hoyas (11-2, 2-1 Big East).
Marquette (10-5, 1-2) lost two games in the closing seconds to Top 10 teams in the past 10 days and was 0-4 in games decided by four points or less. In losses to No. 8 West Virginia and No. 6 Villanova, Marquette missed free throws late to lose the lead.
This time, the Golden Eagles went 4 of 5 from the line in the final minute. Lazar Hayward hit two with 57 seconds left and Butler added his in the final seconds.
David Cubillan had a season-high 18 points and Hayward had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Marquette.
Austin Freeman had 20 points for Georgetown, which had a three-game winning streak snapped.
