Back on February 5th, Connecticut came to Milwaukee and handed Marquette women’s basketball their lunch. Your final: 87-58, after Paige Bueckers ran wild for 30 points on 12-for-18 shooting. That was on the road, as much as on the road means anything in this pandemic season. On Monday night, Marquette made their first trip to Storrs since the Huskies returned to the Big East, and if I said there wasn’t a certain amount of trepidation in my mind when I turned on CBS Sports Network to watch, I’d be lying.
And then Marquette never trailed by more than 15 the entire night.
