I don’t think it’s right to say that the final 30 minutes of Marquette’s game against #21 UConn last weekend is the best that I’ve ever seen Meredith Black’s teams play. They have beaten a ranked team in the past, and by default, that has to be a better performance.
But, given the circumstances of how the full 60 minutes went, I think we can say the second half against the Huskies might be the boldest that Marquette has ever played. They were down 12-2 at halftime after conceding consecutive 6-1 quarters and were down 11-1 out of the gate.
