Marquette women’s basketball is 5-0 for the first time since 2010-11.
They aren’t supposed to be, not if you take Associated Press poll rankings into account. They weren’t supposed to beat #3 Texas in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis on Friday. Even if they did, it was supposed to be #6 Louisville waiting in the second round, but Gonzaga matched Marquette by posting their best ever win over a ranked foe in their first round game. That put the Bulldogs in Marquette’s path instead, and after an 18 point, 8 rebound outing from Chloe Marotta, Marquette is 40 minutes away from a Battle 4 Atlantis championship trophy.
