9-9 after last year's debacle? A good result by any measure. But they may be falling just short of a postseason tournament appearance....
In her second season at the helm, Carolyn Kieger has guided Marquette to a 9-9 record in the Big East. That's a major improvement from 4-14 in her first season, and it earned Marquette the #6 seed in the Big East tournament. Officially, the Golden Eagles finished in a tie for fifth place with Georgetown, but MU lost a tiebreaker to the Hoyas to end up on the sixth line in the league standings.
This tiebreaker loss might end up biting Marquette in the butt.
