Marquette men’s basketball is currently riding a five game winning streak in Big East play. That’s the longest conference game winning streak under head coach Steve Wojciechowski and the best for the program since 2011-12.
As you might expect, the Associated Press voters have taken notice. With Marquette winning on the road without Markus Howard and rallying to beat Providence at home over the past week, the collective viewpoint of the voters is that the Golden Eagles are the #12 team in the country this week, rising up from #15 last week. MU earned 861 points in the balloting, dropping them in between #11 North Carolina with 895 points and #13 Maryland at 751 points.
