Let’s get this out of the way: This year’s Marquette women’s basketball team is certainly exceeding preseason expectations. But that should come to no surprise to anyone who has paid attention to these last three seasons.
At 7-2, Marquette is off to its best start since the 2008-09 season. The Golden Eagles were in just their second season competing in the Big East back then.
Now in year four of the Megan Duffy Era, the Golden Eagles have looked the best they have in that span.
But again, that style of play and team mentality is not something that should be looked at as “new” about the Golden Eagles per say.
