First things first: Saturday’s game is the HEAD Coaches Classic, in benefit of the HEADstrong Foundation. Marquette will be auctioning off the unique helmets and jerseys that they wear for the game, and the nets will be strung in lime green.
Whatever thin chances Marquette has for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament ride completely on getting a win on Saturday against a very good Duke team.
Marquette didn’t have a sterling resume headed into the final four games of their schedule in the first place, and they’re currently riding a two game losing streak after last week’s losses to Notre Dame and Providence.
