It was a safe bet that Marquette men’s basketball was going to improve their polling from last week in the Associated Press top 25 rankings. When you are earning votes and you go 2-0, generally speaking that means that more people should vote for you next week and the people that did vote for you will probably move you up a spot or two.
What has happened is that the Golden Eagles have gained 111 points over last week’s total. That gives them 131 on this fine Monday, and that’s good enough to be ranked #25 in the country this week!
