Over the past week, Marquette men’s basketball beat the #10 team in the country, lost to the #22 team in the country, and beat two Major Seven conference opponents on a neutral floor. All in all, a pretty good week. However, with said #10 team — Illinois — missing their best player for that game due to a suspension from the NCAA, I didn’t expect to see the Associated Press voters pay respect to the Golden Eagles for their victory.
I. WAS. WRONG!
The new poll came out on Monday morning, and LO AND BEHOLD, Marquette has snagged 41 points in the voting.
