If you’re going to beat UConn women’s basketball, you’ve got to play a great game on your side, do a heck of a job taking the Huskies out of their game, and then maybe catch some luck along the way for good measure.
None of those three things came through for Marquette women’s basketball on Sunday afternoon in the Big East tournament semifinals, as the top seeded Huskies grabbed ahold of the lead early and ran off with an 81-52 victory. That outcome sends Connecticut onwards to Monday night’s championship game and leaves the Golden Eagles waiting for Selection Sunday seven days from now.
