It would appear that it’s hard questions time for head coach Carolyn Kieger and her Marquette Golden Eagles.
It’s one thing to lose a home game to a team that was a co-favorite to win your league, even if you were picked to finish third. It’s another thing for Creighton to come into the McGuire Center and over the course of 40 minutes slowly pull away for a 20 point victory. Some bad losses like that you can explain: five bad minutes leads to a 13-0 run, bada bing, you lose by 20. That wasn’t the case against Creighton, as Marquette just watched the Bluejays’s taillights disappear into the distance.
