2016-17 Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: The Newcomers

Before we dive into the five new players on the Marquette women’s basketball roster, I think we have to first talk about what to expect from them this season.

Marquette was picked to finish third in the Big East by a vote of the league’s coaches. DePaul and Creighton tied for first, with the Golden Eagles coming in behind them. The primary reason for this is that MU brings back every major contributor from last year’s 9-9 team while most of the other programs suffered significant losses due to graduations.

The secondary reason is that Marquette adds four freshmen and a junior college transfer to the roster.
