Unranked Marquette pulled off one of the most significant upsets of the women’s college basketball season, edging No. 4 UConn 59-52 in front of a great crowd at the Al McGuire Center on Wednesday night in Milwaukee.
The Golden Eagles’ surprise upset was a major mark for both teams. For Marquette, this is the first time in program history they have downed the traditionally-dominant Huskies, and on UConn’s end, this is the first time they have lost back-to-back games since 1993. The Huskies also lost Sunday against No.1 South Carolina.
UConn is down 47-41 to Marquette with 4:50 left. Huskies at risk of dropping back to back games for the first time since March 1993.
