We got a very gutsy performance from Marquette Golden Eagles women’s basketball on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Eagles overcame coughing the ball up on nearly 30% of their possessions to end up with a 64-61 victory over Belmont. Sure, they had to hold their breath and cross their fingers on a potential game-tying shot at the buzzer, but it’s still something to be proud of that MU could solve for X and find a way to win the game anyway.
Generally speaking, we can dismiss the turnovers in that game as a one-off for Marquette. Even after that ballhandling disaster, the Golden Eagles are only turning it over on 18% of possessions this season according to HerHoopStats.
