While many spent their Thanksgiving weekend stuffing themselves with food, the women’s basketball team traveled to Cancun, Mexico, to take on Tennessee and Montana in the annual Cancun Challenge.
It was a highly-anticipated matchup with No. 12 Tennessee to kick off the Cancun Challenge for Marquette. The game did not disappoint, as it was an overtime thriller that came down to the final seconds.
Trailing 89-to-86 with just seven seconds remaining in regulation, junior Allazia Blockton drew a foul on a 3-point attempt. She calmly sank all three free throws to send the game into overtime. Blockton scored a season-high 28 points in the game.
