The Butler University women’s basketball team suffered an 80-64 loss to the second to last team in the Big East Conference, Marquette University, on Jan. 17 at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

“We did a really nice job in the first half of controlling the tempo, controlling pace and controlling their ability to drive the basketball,” Butler head coach Kurt Godlevske said. “The second half, it was the complete opposite. We came out and we weren’t ready to go, didn’t take care of the basketball, and we were very passive defensively.
