There were a lot of things going on in Marquette’s 74-63 loss to Creighton in the Big East tournament quarterfinals on Thursday afternoon.
There’s the 10 first half turnovers by the Golden Eagles against a Bluejays team that ranks in the bottom 40 in the country in defensive turnover rate.
There’s trailing by three at the half largely because of those sloppy turnovers.
There’s giving up a 10-5 burst to Creighton coming out of the locker room when you would think that aggressiveness and tenacity would be more than a requirement.
There’s immediately giving up a 7-0 run after an Olivier-Maxence Prosper and-1 to fall behind by 12 with 13 minutes left to play.
