Congrats to Altia Anderson on her first ever Big East Honor Roll honor: https://gomarquette.com/news/2020/1/20/womens-basketball-altia-anderson-selected-to-big-east-honor-roll.aspxIt's a big stretch of 4 home games coming up for Marquette as teams 2-7 are pretty bunched in the standings right now:Villanova 5-2St. John's 5-3Seton Hall 5-3Butler 4-3Marquette 4-3Creighton 4-3DePaul is out front at 7-0 and Providence is at the other end at 0-7 and Xavier and Georgetown are solidly near the bottom at 8th and 9th with 1-6 records. This upcoming weekend completes the first round of league play.
A good bounce back from a tough Butler loss (where MU went stone cold at the end) with a blowout of X. I enjoyed watching both games this weekend.
Yes and I enjoyed the XU game even more since I'm still a little mad they were picked to finish 8th in the BE while MU was picked to finish 9th - no way they should have been picked ahead of MU. But MU showed they meant business with their 23-4 first quarter lead.And I was surprised to see they're back in the NCAA Tournament projections today with their loss at Butler Friday:http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/bracketologyThere's a long ways to go but it's nice to see MU in the discussion here especially after all they lost last year.
Creme has Marquette as literally the LAST TEAM IN. Gotta keep winning, and have to notch a few wins against teams of note in the conference. They have racked up a lot of wins, but not a single signature win.
A nice blow out win over Georgetown. Spingola with 24 today. MU tied for 2nd place now in the Big East.
57-52 win over Nova to move MU strongly into 2nd in the Big East. MU owned the boards with LVK and Spingola both with double-doubles. Great hire in Duffy. Who says you can’t get hire a great new coach at MU?
I liked the Duffy hire a lot at the time and it's looked even better to me as the season has gone on. I'm not sure how long MU will be able to keep her but I'm trying to enjoy the ride for now
Nice come back win over Creighton. Team is rolling and alone in 2nd place.
Down big at half and came roaring back in the third. LVK with the game winner with 0:04 to go. On the road for NMD (which still leaves me to believe that DePaul MUBB was originally intended to be NMD).Turnovers returned today. Need to control those. Way over-exceeding versus the empty closet left Coach Duffy (rebuild).
I personally don't think they look at where the Women's team is playing for NMD. It's an event for Men's Basketball and since I'll acknowledge that is what 99% of the fans are interested in, I get it.
They moved to 10-4 alone in 2nd place in the BE
