The Golden Eagles found themselves down 44-29 at halftime in a Jan. 21 matchup against DePaul.

If there’s any team in the BIG EAST that can beat Marquette at its own hyper-charged basketball-stuck-on-fast-forward game, it’s the Blue Demons, who poured in the points and held Marquette to an ugly 29.7 percent shooting from the field and an even ghastlier 15.4 percent from deep.

Senior forward McKayla Yentz wasn’t doing much better, missing all four of her first half attempts.

With two minutes and 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter and DePaul refusing to let their double-digit lead slip, the ball found Yentz standing behind the arc.
