Much like happened against Colorado a week ago, Marquette women’s basketball’s offense put them in an early hole against Villanova on Wednesday night at the McGuire Center in a battle of two teams trying to jump from receiving votes in the Associated Press top 25 and into the national rankings. Unlike against Colorado, Marquette eventually figured themselves out as the game went along.
While MU trailed early and looked completely out of sorts, they would eventually rally to take a lead, and not just by a point or two. The Golden Eagles were up as many as six midway through the third quarter.
