24-10 (12-6 Big East), Second in Big East, #5 seed in NCAA Tournament
Last season was a roller coaster for the Marquette Golden Eagles. Coming in unranked, Marquette rode an impressive nonconference performance with wins over #12 Kansas State, #12 Wisconsin, and #14 Buffalo all the way to a #10 ranking. With a weakened Villanova and a weakened Big East, Marquette looked poised to grab its first Big East regular season title since 2012-13. At starting 12-2, with St. John’s seeming to be the only team Marquette couldn’t beat, the team fizzled. While losing their last four games, Marquette blew their golden opportunity for the Big East crown.
