I think Tuesday’s opener presents an interesting puzzle for Megan Duffy and her staff to evaluate Marquette’s performance.
At a glance, you’d think that there’s not much that a team can really learn from a 61 point victory. But Marquette was only up 17 at the half, and that was after being up 12 at the end of the first quarter. It feels like there’s an awful lot to peel from the first 20 minutes, as that was a relatively competitive basketball game.
The remaining 20 minutes, the part that Marquette won by 44 points?
