Outside of the first five minutes, #8 Marquette women’s basketball handed Villanova a one-sided stomping as they bounced back from an 8-7 deficit early to win, 93-55. Marquette is now a perfect 12-0 in Big East play, and their magic number for a regular season conference championship is down to merely two.
No one should ever be surprised when a basketball game starts out back-and-forth, no matter who is playing in it. You could have the best team in the country against the worst team in the country, and if it was all tied up at 10, no one would be surprised.
