Okay, so before we do anything else, we have to get around to recapping Marquette women’s basketball’s loss on Wednesday night to St. John’s. We didn’t get to a recap that night because hey look men’s game against Providence. Thursday got all chewed up for reasons, and so here we are on Friday, finally finishing up watching the game (thanks FloHoops archives) and talking about it before moving on to Seton Hall.
Given that we’re coming at this from long range and we don’t really need to make the deep dive to what happened, let’s keep it simple: Marquette’s offense was broken yet once again as the game started, shooting just 40% in the first quarter and trailing by seven as the first 10 minute ended after starting the game with the 2-0 lead.
