Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: at Xavier Musketeers

I wonder how close Marquette women’s basketball was to leaving for South Orange this weekend. They had an afternoon tipoff against Seton Hall scheduled for Saturday. The press release announcing that the game was postponed was published at 11:11 am on Friday. With finals wrapped up at Marquette, there was no reason for the Golden Eagles to wait until late in the evening to fly out to the east coast. A plan to arrive in Jersey, get settled, get some dinner, watch some film, and get a good night’s sleep seems like a pretty solid plan. It’s roughly a three and a half hour flight out to the New York City area, so if you want to arrive with enough time to be settled at your hotel for dinner at 6pm, you’re looking at being in the air by 2pm at the latest.
