You know the old cliche about “basketball is a game of runs?” Well, I think we can safely say that Marquette women’s basketball executed the concept of using runs in order to win basketball games nearly perfectly in their 89-40 victory over Providence in the Big East opener for both squads.
The following is a list of runs that the Golden Eagles went on against the Friars on Friday afternoon:
4-0
19-0
13-0
6-0
4-0
6-0
11-0
7-0
The 19-0 run was the backbreaker, as the Golden Eagles bridged the first quarter into the second quarter and turned a 9-9 tie into a 28-9 lead.
