It is literally impossible to be upset about how Thursday night went for Marquette.
Three magical free throws from Allazia Blockton with one second left in regulation forced overtime with #12 Tennessee, and Natisha Hiedeman’s late game-winning three-pointer missed, leaving the Golden Eagles with a 101-99 loss against a traditional powerhouse.
Oh well. These things happen.
The Golden Eagles showed that they belong on the same court as a team that seems likely to host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament in March. For me, that’s more than enough, at least at this point in the season.
