The Marquette Golden Eagles have been one of the most confusing teams in all of college basketball this year. They have wins over Wisconsin and Creighton, making Marquette the only team in the nation to have two wins over teams ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll, but the Golden Eagles have also taken four losses, and while none of the losses are bad (Oklahoma State, UCLA, Seton Hall, Xavier) it has been tough for Marquette to build and sustain momentum this season.
The Golden Eagles come into this game at 5-4, and 1-2 in Big East play.
