Well, here we are, at the start of another Big East men’s basketball season. Optimism abounds, as YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles head in to wage battle against their nine league foes in a double round-robin.
Maaaaaaybe we should hold off on the optimism, though, or at least properly adjust it for a little later on in the season.
You see, after tonight’s league opener at home against Georgetown, here’s Marquette’s next seven games, along with the current Associated Press top 25 ranking where appropriate:
- at Seton Hall
- at #1 Villanova
- vs Seton Hall
- vs DePaul
- at #13 Butler
- at #10 Creighton
- vs #1 Villanova
That, in a word, sucks.
