Marquette women’s basketball can be summed up in two plays.
The first is a display of speed, grace and athleticism. An opponent misses a shot, a Marquette big grabs the rebound, the ball gets shuffled to either Natisha Hiedeman, Amani Wilborn or Danielle King (Marquette’s zippy trio of wind-up car guards), who then streak to the hoop for a crafty layup or dump it to a barreling Allazia Blockton or Erika Davenport for the easy rim-rolling put-in.
The second play, usually coming in the fourth quarter of tight games, sees the Golden Eagles on the other side of the ball.
