A fun game to watch (especially after yesterday) with a great ending. The 6 point possession was a highlight, more so than the two buzzer-beating threes.

I just got done watching the game on FS2 via my DVR - fun to watch again :).  I loved Spingola falling down scoring on that 6 point possession.

I liked the Lott buzzer beater in that it reminded me of Hiedeman doing that as a sophomore against DePaul at the Al in the Big East Final in 2017 - figured that was a good omen too :).  I thought it was funny as my ESPN alerts for halftime and the end of the 3rd quarter were both 3 points off as they didn't include the buzzer beating 3 pointers.

Kudos to Chloe Marotta who came up with 9 rebounds in 16 minutes of action.  She was starting earlier in the season and has accepted well her role coming off the bench once Anderson moved to the starting lineup.  Lauren Van Kleunen was close to a career high with her 22 points - her career high is 23 points in her very first collegiate game.  She came to Marquette at the same time as Anderson and Spingola but redshirted that first year (she did graduate in only 3 years though and is now in grad school).

New bracketology out this morning and Marquette remains at a 9 - solidly in the field.  Creighton joins DePaul and Marquette in the projection for 3 BE teams in and St. John's is one of the first four out.  DePaul is down to a 5 seed in the projection which means they wouldn't be able to host games (they had been projecting to a 3 or 4 seed most of the season).  ESPN bracketology:

Fun stat regarding yesterday's game - this was the first time since 2016 that DePaul last back to back games.

That was a nice jump :).

Congrats to Jordan King who was BE frosh of the week and Selena Lott who made the BE honor roll:
https://gomarquette.com/news/2020/3/2/jordan-king-is-big-east-freshman-of-the-week.aspx

The BE awards may be announced tomorrow - expecting Duffy to be COY and would expect Lott to be on the first team.  I would think Altia Anderson might have a shot at most improved player also.

Marquette averages almost 1700 per game at home for the conference games, second to DU.

Awards are being released now.  First MU winner is Camryn Taylor who made the all freshman team.

Selena Lott makes the 2nd team and Duffy of course wins COY.

I had thought Lott would make first team but can't argue too much with her making second team.  I think Kelly Campbell of DePaul got robbed a lot more than Lott.  I thought Campbell had a good shot at BE POY and so did Anonymous Eagle and an ESPN writer but she didn't even make the first team.  Her big stats are assists and rebounds though and points tend to be valued more.  Campbell's assist to turnover ratio is incredibly impressive. 

Excited to see Taylor on the all frosh team -I think she has a bright future at MU.  Funny thing about Lott is I tend to forget we have another year with her as I kept thinking of her as a senior as she was the returning player with the most playing time heading into this season - glad we have her for one more year.

And I'd have to question the whole voting process if Duffy hadn't gotten COY  ;D

Personally, Im glad that Kelly Campbell is gone next year.  It seems like she's been a major PITA for MU for like 20 yrs... 8-)

There will just be another DePaul player to be a major PITA for MU  ;D - Lexi Held was doing a pretty good job of that Sunday.

The Big East Tournament at Wintrust Arena in Chicago starts today with two games - 8/9 (Georgetown-Providence) and 7/10 (Villanova/Xavier).  Those games have free online broadcasts.  Tomorrow's quarterfinals will all be on FS2 and semi's and final are on FS1.

Marquette plays at 6P tomorrow and faces the winner of Villanova-Xavier (1:30P central today) which will most likely be Villanova.

I believe the original deal the Big East signed with Wintrust to host the tournament expires after this years tournament.

Does anyone know if they are planning to re-up with Wintrust; open it back up to teams bidding to host or permanently moving it to Hatford.

As long as they don't try to stick it at Mohegan Sun Arena and Casino.

You are correct about the original deal with Wintrust running through this year's tournament:  http://www.bigeast.com/news/2017/10/17/big-east-signs-multi-year-deal-with-wintrust-arena-to-host-womens-basketball-tournament.aspx

I haven't heard anything officially but I'd be shocked if it's not in Connecticut starting next season.

One thing I do know about next season is they are going to a 20 game league season for the Women so league play will start earlier and have two less non-conference games.  It sounds like they may stick with the travel partner setup and Fri/Sun games for the most part putting UCONN and Providence together and having Creighton kind of be off on their own (so hope that this is the case so we can get rid of the ridiculous road trip between Omaha and Providence between Friday and Sunday).  But I haven't heard anyting officially about the travel partner setup - just the 20 game league schedule for the official part.

Oh and they are playing in a tournament in the Bahamas around Thanksgiving next season.

I'd really like them to win tomorrow just to make the wait for Selection Monday a little less anxious also :).  But they're most likely playing Villanova and they looked downright awful at Villanova a couple weeks ago - they're going to have to play a lot better than that to get the W.  Hopefully they'll come out strong and advance to Sunday's semi's...

The Villanova-Xavier game was much closer than I think anyone expected and went to OT.  Villanova dominated in OT and the final was 64-56.  Villanova had a pretty poor shooting day especially from 3 point range so I'm sure that means they'll shoot lights out tomorrow night against Marquette  ;D.

7 seed Villanova vs. 2 seed Marquette at 6P Central Sat 3/7 from Wintrust Arena - game will be broadcast on FS2

Go Marquette!!!

Marquette has the lead at halftime over Villanova 31-19 - they should have been up much bigger though as MU didn't score a field goal the last 5:55 of the 2nd quarter.

The 2nd half starts soon and the game is on FS2.

Go Marquette!
