And so, the fifth season of Megan Duffy’s tenure as Marquette women’s basketball head coach begins.
The Golden Eagles are coming off a 21-11 season a year ago that saw them reach the NCAA tournament for the second time in three possible seasons under Duffy, although they clearly would have been a tournament team if the 2020 tourney had been held. Marquette went 13-7 in Big East play, tying with St. John’s for fourth place in the league, which was two games behind third place Creighton at 15-5 and three games in front of sixth place Seton Hall at 10-10.
