And now, a recitation of Marquette’s first five possessions in Sunday’s Big East tournament semifinal game against top seeded UConn:
- Turnover by way of steal
- missed shot
- missed second chance shot
- missed shot
- missed shot
The Huskies were already up 7-0 before the fifth possession even started, so things were off to a horrible start for a game where you have to play perfect basketball to pull off an upset against a national championship contender. By the time the clock said “2:00” on it in the first quarter, Marquette was already down more than a dozen points.
