During last Friday’s Marquette women’s basketball Big East opener against Providence, we found out that we did not actually know when the Golden Eagles would be playing next. Play-by-play man Patrick Reed dropped a note into the broadcast at one point, letting the viewer know that MU’s planned home game against Prairie View A&M had gone by the wayside due to a COVID-19 issue in the PVA&M program. That left MU without a game until December 13th, when they are scheduled to visit Belmont.
As circumstances would have it, fellow Big East member Xavier is also on a COVID-related timeout, and as such, they had to bow out of their scheduled encounter with Cincinnati on Thursday.
