The first thing we should do is address the elephant in the room.
Marquette volleyball, in addition to being ranked #24 in the country right now, is 3-1 in Big East play.
Now, I know what you’re saying. “Hey, I thought you said that Marquette started Big East play against DePaul two weeks ago, and since Saint Louis and Iowa State aren’t in the Big East, that means that they’ve only played two league matches!”
You are mostly correct.
That was true information at the time. However, since then, the Big East has decided that the two non-conference matches that the Golden Eagles played in Omaha earlier this season against Creighton will be counted as conference matches instead.
