No. 23 Marquette women’s basketball’s hot start to the 2023-24 season didn’t end Wednesday night, as the Golden Eagles (7-0) beat the Memphis Tigers (2-5) 88-59 at the Al McGuire Center.
But senior guard Rose Nkumu recalls last year, when Marquette was ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll for one week in late November before dropping out for the rest of the year.
“We were ranked around this time last year, and it didn’t last long,” Nkumu said. “We just have to stay composed regardless of who steps on the floor, ranked or not.”
With the win, the Golden Eagles continue their best start in program history.
