On Saturday, Marquette men’s lacrosse had a bad half-hour or so, and ended up taking a 14-9 loss to then-#8 Villanova. Not the worst loss in the world, of course, but Marquette was at the very end of the receiving votes department in last week’s Maverik media top 20 poll. If you’re trying to stay in the conversation for votes there, then losing like that at home isn’t really what you want.
Then again.......
Marquette’s still the very last team receiving votes in the brand new top 20 poll, so what do I know?
