How to watch No. 21 Marquette vs Georgetown: Live stream info, preview for Saturday's Big East matchup

See below for everything you need to know about Saturday's Marquette vs Georgetown match up, as well as additional information on how to watch college basketball on Peacock.
The Golden Eagles, in their fourth season under head coach Shaka Smart, are aiming for their fourth straight NCAA appearance. The team is currently ranked third in the Big East standings following a dominant 82-52 win against Providence on Tuesday. The Golden Eagles made a season-high 17 three-pointers in the win.
Senior guard Kam Jones hit four of those shots from beyond the arc, finishing with 17 points and 7 assists in his 44th consecutive game scoring in double figures, tying the longest active streak in the nation. Junior forward Ben Gold also set a career-high, scoring 17 points.
'We were just in great positions to hunt out threes. We were aggressive,' said Gold after the win. 'We were also just helping each other get open. Whether it was just attacking in space and kicking out. We're all ready to shoot. We know we're a high-level shooting team. We do it every single day. We put the work in. It's good to see it go in, but we know that it's not just a one-off thing.'
Georgetown is coming off a tough 93-79 defeat against UConn on Wednesday. The Hoyas are trying to adjust without standout freshman Thomas Sorber, who underwent season-ending surgery on Wednesday for a left foot injury.
Sorber, a Big East Freshman of the Year contender, is the team's second-leading scorer (14 ppg) and leads the Hoyas in blocks per game (2.0). In his absence, UConn dominated inside, scoring 48 of its 93 points in the paint and outscoring Georgetown, 30-3, in second-chance points.
'This is back-to-back games where we've given up 80- something plus points,' said Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley after the loss. 'We've just got to figure out what we [need] to do with our physicality in order to make sure we try to get to that last four-minute war, to give our men a chance to win.'
The Hoyas, currently seventh in Big East standings, will likely need to win the Big East Tournament to secure their first NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Cooley.

Minnesota women's coach Dawn Plitzuweit gets 2-year contract extension with raise
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota women's basketball coach Dawn Plitzuweit has received a two-year contract extension that was approved Thursday by the university's board of regents. Plitzuweit is 47-29 over two seasons at Minnesota, including 13-23 in Big Ten play, with leading scorer Mara Braun missing much of them with foot injuries. The Gophers capped Plitzuweit's second year by winning the WBIT championship. They have not appeared in the NCAA Tournament since 2018. Advertisement The new deal, which covers the next six seasons through 2031, gives Plitzuweit a raise of roughly 7% to bring her base salary to $900,000 for 2025-26, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune, with annual increases of $30,000. That's in the middle of the pack in the 18-team Big Ten, which sent 12 of them to the NCAA Tournament this year. Plitzuweit was hired away from West Virginia, where she spent one season, to replace Lindsay Whalen. Plitzuweit is the 13th head coach in the program's history. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
