Marquette women’s basketball was outshot clean across the board by Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon. Field goal percentage? Advantage Panthers, 53% to 48%. Three-point percentage? Advantage Panthers, 50% to 30%. Free throws? Big margin for the Panthers, 77% to 50%.
But shooting percentages aren’t everything, as Marquette won relatively easily, 83-68, at the Klotsche Center on the east side of town.
Why the lopsided score given the shooting margins? Rebounding and turnovers, y’all. For the most part, UWM got one chance to score in a possession. They grabbed just four of their 24 missed shots in the game, as Marquette dominated the glass on that end of the court.
