If Marquette wants to keep playing in the postseason past the Big East tournament, they have to win this game.
See that 14-15 up at the top? Yeah. The WNIT isn't taking at large teams with a sub-.500 record. Y'all can do math, so I know that you're already thinking that this means that Marquette can't lose tomorrow, either. You're absolutely right, but that's tomorrow, and we'll worry about tomorrow's game after Marquette wins today to make sure that there is a tomorrow's game.
Marquette is looking to extend a remarkably successful season, when you take everything into account.
