A 2-0 Marquette lead after 31 minutes turned into a 3-2 loss to Connecticut for the Golden Eagles with both teams playing with 10 men for the final 17 minutes.
Yeah, it was wild, to say the least, and I dare say that it should mark the end of a career wearing blue and gold.
Let’s start with what we thought was good news at the time, and to be honest, the goal scoring proliferation by Marquette in the first half hour is still good news after the fact. Jai Hsieh-Bailey got the Golden Eagles on the board first in this one, connecting on what was just the second shot of the match.
