Stupid conference schedule opening gauntlet.
Marquette fell to 0-3 to open Big East play this season after Aaliyah Lewis went bananas for St. John's in overtime, scoring nine of her 11 points in the extra session in the game to lead the Red Storm to an 81-77 victory.
If you're looking at MU going 5-2 in their last seven heading into conference play and then taking three straight L's to open that up and saying "hey, what the hell is going on", I've got two things for you to keep an eye on. Item #1: Marquette's two losses in those seven were both to ranked opponents, and all three of Marquette's first three Big East opponents were either ranked at the time or have been ranked at some point this season.
