Marquette Women’s Basketball: Creighton Straight Up Steals One From The Golden Eagles

Two Marquette turnovers in the final 45 seconds gave Creighton the opportunity to complete a comeback from a 13 point deficit as the Bluejays defeated the Golden Eagles on Sunday, 80-77.

The Golden Eagles drop to 16-6 and 7-4 in Big East play and have now lost two in a row for the first time all season.

While the two late turnovers will get the attention, the fact of the matter is that Marquette led by nine with 4:23 to play. Creighton had already stuck their foot in the doorway and refused to let MU slam it shut on them by the time the game got to the final minute.
