It was a super ugly game today and Marquette didn't play very well. But the bottom line is they found a way to win - 53-51 over Belmont. They finish non-conference play 9-2 which is way better than I was expecting. They have a tough 3 game road trip to open BE play - at pre-season top pick DePaul next Sunday 12/29 and then the toughest road trip in the BE the following weekend - at Creighton on a Friday night and at Providence Sunday afternoon (quick turnaround to travel so far). Creighton has a pretty good RPI so far too.
That would be a quick reload.
The schedulers really screwed the women team. Any other teams start with 3 road games?
Creighton and Providence are travel partners. That will change when UCONN arrives. DePaul and MU are travel partners but they play each other on odd dates as they just bus.
It's opening day for Big East Women's Basketball. Marquette is at DePaul at 4P central. DePaul was the preseason favorite to win the Big East and are currently the only ranked BE team at #16 in both polls. I think DePaul is the opponent the Women have played the most all-time and today is the 76th meeting between the two teams. DePaul owns the overall series at 45-29.Live Stats: https://depaulbluedemons.com/sidearmstats/wbball/summaryWatch online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgXP5uCmwaQI fear that DePaul will force a lot of turnovers from Marquette - we will see. They bookend conference play with DePaul as they'll finish the regular season hosting DePaul on March 1st.
As you predicted, 26 turnovers killed MU.
MU whomps the Hall. Taylor gets a double double. MU in 4th in the BE despite being picked ninth in the preseason. Congrats Coach Duffy.https://gomarquette.com/news/2020/1/12/womens-basketball-marquette-downs-seton-hall-81-60.aspx

Women's Bracketology has Marquette among the first four out. Making the NCAAT would be a tremendous accomplishment this year.http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/bracketology
Well, I think recruiting Aneesah Morrow May be out of the picture now.
Didn't cohens sister still come after sandy left? Just saying.
She *stayed* after Sandy left. Recollection is that she was a sophomore when he transferred.
