Yeah, so, nobody’s thrilled about Marquette men’s basketball losing to Wisconsin-Madison on Saturday afternoon. However, the Associated Press voters as a whole didn’t ding the Golden Eagles too badly for falling to the unranked Badgers.
On Monday, in the newest edition of the poll, Marquette comes in at #8 in the country, down five spots from last week. If we accept the idea that you have to drop after losing to an unranked team, this isn’t too bad. MU wasn’t that far from being #7 in the country, as they had 1,134 points against 1,146 gathered up by #7 Gonzaga.
