Basketball doesn’t have to be a complicated sport. The team that puts the ball through the net the most wins the game. There’s a lot of ways to accomplish this, but it all comes back to who can put the most buckets up.
#23 Marquette women’s basketball made that point on Sunday afternoon in their 87-52 win over Penn.
Marquette’s shooting percentages in the game:
Overall from the field: 57.9%
From inside the arc: 60.98%, isn’t rounding fun?
From outside the arc: 50%
At that point, it almost doesn’t matter that the Golden Eagles’ defense limited Penn to 33% shooting in the game and never more than 37% in the first three quarters of the game.
