Well, okay then.
As we touched on over in our NCAA Selection Show preview article, Marquette‘s chances of earning an at-large bid are looking kind of shaky. Bracket Matrix last updated on Saturday at 9pm, which means it’s probably getting all of Friday’s results worked in but none of Saturday’s, and Marquette appears in just nine of the 140 brackets. That has the Golden Eagles as the sixth team out. Joe Lunardi’s most recent bracket is dated today and says that the Golden Eagles are the seventh team out. Chris Dobbertean, who was bullish on the Golden Eagles about a week ago, says that they’re the fourth team out as of 5:30pm last night.
