Marquette women’s basketball team concluded their two-game road trip with an 80-77 loss to Creighton Sunday.
The Golden Eagles led for the entire game and had a comfortable eight-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but a late 8-0 run from the Bluejays allowed Creighton to take the game.
“The team that is ahead oftentimes gets a little conservative and we were due to make some shots,” Creighton head coach Jim Flanery said to the BIG EAST Digital Network following the game. “We went small and I thought when we go small the mentality is at some point we’re going to be really hard to guard because of the ball moves.
