Nobody outside the women’s basketball program expected freshman Allazia Blockton to blossom as quickly as she did. The BIG EAST Freshman of the Year and her 18.3 points per game were a blessing for Marquette and its high-paced offense, which ranked 15th in the nation at 77.4 points per game.
Unfortunately, the team’s inexperience also resulted in a colossal 78.3 points allowed per game, which ranked 339th of 344 Division I teams. Overall, the team improved by five wins – all coming in conference play – from the previous year and is not expected to lose any scholarship players.
