When this game tips off on Saturday afternoon, Marquette women’s basketball will have been sitting dormant for nearly nine full days.
In their most recent game, the Golden Eagles let a prime opportunity for a big win slip through their hands repeatedly late in their loss to #24 Miami. That was in the Preseason WNIT semifinals, and with no third place game, the Hurricanes visited Iowa State for the championship while Marquette had to sit quietly and wait. That’s the nature of 1) having to leave last Sunday open for the WNIT title game and 2) the Thanksgiving holiday coming up.
