With today's loss to Notre Dame, Marquette is 6-5 going into its conference schedule.
Marquette hung with one of the best teams in the country on the road but fell just short against No. 2 Notre Dame, 91-85, in an overtime thriller.
A Marquette upset appeared to be a done deal; Marquette had a 73-70 lead with just 44 seconds remaining in regulation. Notre Dame’s Kathryn Westbeld went to the free throw line and converted the first free throw to make it a two-point game.
Then, Westbeld missed the second free throw and grabbed her own miss.
