Turnovers and a “too little, too late” shooting performance were big problems for Marquette Golden Eagles women’s basketball on Sunday afternoon against #20 DePaul Blue Demons. At the final horn, it was DePaul 87, Marquette 85, but that doesn’t really tell the story of what happened to the Golden Eagles in their fourth loss of the season and second straight loss in Big East play.
It was a pretty neat first half, particularly as Marquette cut an eight point deficit with three minutes left down to just two at halftime. You can’t really ask for much more than being within a possession of a ranked team at halftime on your floor.
