No Liza Karlen and just 13 minutes of Chloe Marotta due to foul trouble? No problem for Marquette women’s basketball on Saturday afternoon at the McGuire Center, because they still had Jordan King. The senior from Rockton, Illinois, put up a new career best 31 points on 12-for-23 shooting to propel the Golden Eagles to the 80-57 victory over Providence and help MU even their Big East record out at four wins and four losses on the year.
Marquette’s offense did not have rhythm or flow to start the game. It took them til the 7:47 mark before the Golden Eagles got on the board at all, but thankfully the defense held til that point so it was a 2-0 game.
