Turnover woes continue for Marquette
The Golden Eagles committed 22 turnovers Sunday afternoon.
The Bluejays’ trap against MU caused many of the turnovers. On most picks Marquette would set, the Blue Jays attempted to trap the ball-handler. This also applied to any Marquette player posting up.
“Our activity to get the ball out of the post when Joey and Sam (Hauser) caught it in there, our rotations and our activity with our hands, knocking those balls lose and forcing turnovers was a big part of the game,” Creighton head coach Greg McDermott said.
