Marquette Men’s Lacrosse Preview: at St. John’s Red Storm

In a league with only six teams and thus only five conference games to be played, each contest takes on a fairly significant amount of meaning. That’s the situation that Marquette find themselves in with men’s lacrosse, and each game gets a little weightier thanks to two things. First, there’s only four Big East tournament spots. Four teams get in, two teams get left out. With so few games in order to jostle around in the standings, tiebreakers become crucially important. Second, and this is more of a factual statement than it is a discussion of the metaphysics of a six team league, everyone loses to Denver.
