Women’s Hoops: No. 20 Marquette Falls To No. 12 Tennessee

The 20th ranked Marquette women lose a shootout to Tennessee, 101-99 in overtime at the Cancun Challenge in Mexico on Thanksgiving night. Freshman guard Anastasia Hayes made a decisive three point play to keep the Number 12 Volunteers unbeaten at 4-0. Marquette’s Allazia Blockton sent the game to O-T by making three free throws in the final second of regulation, after Tennessee failed to make a basket in the final 3:15 of the fourth quarter. Blockton led Marquette with 28 points and eleven rebounds as the Golden Eagles fell to 1-2, and they’ll play Montana tonight (Friday) in Cancun. The unbeaten U-W Green Bay women face Arizona State this (Friday) afternoon at Cancun, where they beat Columbia 61-43 — and Wisconsin coach Jonathan Tsipis plays his former George Washington team today (Friday) at the Paradise Jam tournament in Washington where the Badgers fell to Syracuse 77-74 Thursday.
