3-0 for Marquette women’s basketball, and you can’t ask for better than undefeated. On Sunday, the Golden Eagles will have one final home game before they head to Florida for the Fort Myers Tip Off, which is notable, because that’s kiiiind of the official start to the rest of the season. Two high major opponents in Florida, a decent Memphis team and a decent Penn team at home, at Illinois State, Creighton to start Big East play, two lower end teams going into Christmas break, and then BOOM, New Year’s Eve at Connecticut, and it’s all Big East action from there.
