If I told you that Marquette women’s basketball shot just 40% from the field and made just one three-pointer on Wednesday afternoon, what would you guess the result of the game against Cincinnati was?
Keeping that in mind, what if I also told you Marquette also committed 24 turnovers in a 74 possession game, meaning nearly a third of their possessions ended without so much as a shot and with the Bearcats going the other way with the ball?
With those two things in your head, what if I also told you that Karissa McLaughlin, one half of Marquette’s starting backcourt and the only legitimate three-point threat on the team so far this season went out in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return?
