COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — For much of Sunday afternoon, it looked as if No. 5 Marquette women’s basketball (27-8, 15-3 BIG EAST) was going to its first Sweet 16 in program history. Instead, No. 4 Texas A&M’s last-minute comeback ended Marquette’s historic run. Here are three takeaways from Marquette’s 78-76 heartbreaker.
Carter can do it all
Texas A&M’s Chennedy Carter, the 2018 National Freshman of the Year, showed why she has earned so many awards early in her collegiate career Sunday afternoon. She finished the day with 30 of the Aggies’ 78 points.
“Carter is a phenomenal player,” Marquette head coach Carolyn Kieger said.
