Look, if I tell you that Marquette women’s basketball finished the first quarter up 14 and won by 19, you’re going to say, “hey, good job, mission accomplished.” That’s absolutely right.
But I suspect that head coach Megan Duffy is going to have a much different interpretation of the Golden Eagles’ 65-46 victory over Xavier on Friday night in Cincinnati. The middle 22 minutes of this game was probably not Marquette’s best basketball of this season, and so I suspect that the coaching staff is going to be pretty enthused about having things to focus on improving.
