On February 17th, Marquette men’s basketball played their 22nd game of the 2020-21 college basketball season. They defeated Butler, to move to 10-12 on the year and 6-10 in Big East play. Marquette has won just two of their past eight games, including a season breaking home loss to DePaul on January 23rd. After that game, Marquette was sitting at #99 in the NET rankings or, to simplify the point, a very long way off from even pretending that they are in consideration for an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament. 13 games is the minimum requirement to be eligible for the 68 team field, but that ship sailed a long time ago.
