On Wednesday night, while Shaka Smart’s team was engaged with Georgetown, Megan Duffy’s team was down in Chicago at Wintrust Arena. The final there? DePaul 77, Marquette 66.
With the Blue Demons coming in after gathering a few votes in the AP poll on Monday, it’s reasonable to ask exactly how Marquette landed just 11 points short. After all, this is a game that went to overtime in Milwaukee earlier this season.
There’s one of two ways that you can answer this question, and just so we’re clear: I haven’t watched a single frame of this game thanks to being at Fiserv Forum for the game against Georgetown.
