MU Women's Basketball Thread

[Marquette Fan]

50-47 Marquette over Creighton.

2 weekend wins by a combined 5 points.

Held Creighton to 6/22 from 3. (best 3 point shooting team in the league)

Karlen 20 and 7. Van Kleunen 13 and 7.
12 boards for Marotta.

McLaughlin had her first shot attempt with 6 minutes remaining, and, had just one for the game. But she hit two free throws with seconds remaining for the win.

2nd place in the league for the moment.

I guess they wanted to test out my heart rate this weekend .  That was a crazy comeback today that I didn't really see coming.  I thought all was lost when they got a steal down 42-40 and Chloe Marotta failed to convert on a breakaway layup attempt. Creighton turned around and made a 3 to go up 45-40 there.  Creighton would go up 47-42 with 2:50 to go but that was the last time Creighton scord in this game.

Big game for sophomore Liza Karlen who led the way with a career high 20 points and had a big block at the end when Creighton needed a 3 to tie it.

DePaul won their game at home against Providence to move to 11-3 in the BE compared to MU's 10-3 so MU sits in 3rd for now with Villanova and Creighton right behind them also.  Big week coming up for Marquette as they go to Villanova on Friday (they lost a close game at home to Villanova a couple weeks ago) and then host UCONN on Sunday.  Overall they have 4 road games and 2 home games left.  It seems like the BE will not be rescheduling the MU at UCONN game that was canceled due to MU's Covid issues.

Danyel Middleton was in sweats for the second straight game.  Friday night a Marquette spokesperson told the student paper she was out with a non-Covid injury.  That's an interesting way to describe it - not sure what a Covid related injury would be.  And since I have no idea what the injury is, I'm not sure when we might be able to expect her to return.  She's been providing some energy and nice minutes off the bench.

Marquette is the last team in the tournament according to Charlie Creme's latest Bracketology:  https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/30423107/ncaa-women-bracketology-2022-women-college-basketball-projections

Marquette's next two opponents are playing tonight as Villanova is at UCONN.  Villanova leads 62-45 heading to the 4th quarter.  UCONN is a bit short handed tonight and have only played 6 players but this is still a surprise so far.

[shoothoops]

Villanova out rebounding UConn 25-9 late 3rd quarter.

Villanova out rebounding UConn 25-9 late 3rd quarter.

Villanova outrebounded UCONN 37-21 for the game and holds on to win 72-69.  It's UCONN"s first conference loss since 2013.  Marquette goes to Villanova Friday night and hosts UCONN Sunday.

Get your tickets soon for Sunday if you don't have them yet - there are limited tickets available.

On another note, DePaul goes to UCONN on Friday - that will be a tough game for UCONN.

Yes I am expecting this game to be a sellout.

They did that against Notre Dane a few years ago and there were even scalpers in front of the Al for that game.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

I have never seen the Al so packed with fans.  Super showup

[Ardmore Mug]

Great Crowd!!!  Ladies playing great D!!! Let's go Warriors !!! Get the big upset W!!! 

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

They definitely look competitive against UConn. Probably due to UConn injuries. Fun game to watch. Take advantage.

(And Villanova goes and loses today - go figure)

[MU82]

I blame myself. When I clicked on the game, we were up 1. About 3 minutes later, we were down a bazillion.

I blame you, too.

I blame you, too.

There is a pattern emerging...

DePaul dominated Marquette last night both inside and outside. Final score was 77-66 but Marquette was down by as many as 24 in the 3rd and padded stats in the 4th.

DePaul leads the country in scoring and assists.

DePaul Freshman Annesah Morrow had her 20th straight double double with 21 and 17. Only 4 other Women's players have ever done that.

Deja Church had 23 and 8. Sonya Morris had 15.

King had 16 for Marquette. Walker had 12 and 9, and Karlen had 12.

There's a long ways to go yet but Morrow could have a shot at the record for consecutive games with double doubles.  Courtney Paris set that record with 112 straight double doubles.

Since realistically I don't see Marquette making the NCAA Tournament, I was looking up information on the WNIT.  Here's a link to an article with some information about amount of teams and when the teams participating will be announced:

https://womensnit.com/news/2022/2/3/general-tournament-officials-gearing-up-for-2022-postseason-wnit.aspx

And a reminder that the Women's Selection Show moves back to Sunday this season after being on Monday for a number of years now.

I'd say they could win the conference tourney to grab the automatic bid but don't see anyone beating UCONN in the BET.

Nice to see Paige Bueckers returning for UConn tonight. The day of that injury, it looked like she might be done for the season.

Along with Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, Bueckers is one of my favorite to watch play. So much talent and energy.
