Going into the season projected to finish ninth in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll, Marquette women’s basketball took it a little more personal than one might think. The team put up the projected standings in their locker room to use it as motivation to prove everyone wrong.
“When those standings came out, … we said ‘OK, people are going to look at ourselves like that but we are not going to allow this define us,'” redshirt junior forward Lauren Van Kleunen said.
