I'm looking forward to this game. I will be my first look at Duke and Marquette may be able to keep it interesting for a while. Marquette is 4-0 with wins over Wake, Ark-Pine Bluff, Vandy and Central Michigan. Both teams have played Vanderbilt; Marquette won by 5 in Nashville while Duke won by 19 at home. Marquette is led by 6-3 post Katherine Plouffe's 20 ppg and 3 others in double figures.
The current temperature in Milwaukee is 19 degrees, not nearly as cold as it was on a Saturday night in February, 2007 when a few BYers watched UConn win a close one against Marquette 52-48. The below-zero temps didn't keep the crowd away as the (then) largest crowd in Marquette women's hoops history showed up for that game.
