And now, a brief respite from Big East play to bring you a nationally televised game against Marquette’s closest geographic rival.
At least the season never gets boring, right?
Marquette comes into Wednesday’s rivalry game with wins in two of their last three games, all of which were in league play. It was a nice bounce back for the Golden Eagles after dropping three straight games. Two of the losses have become explainable here in mid-April, as Michigan and Robert Morris have played their way into the top 20 rankings since beating Marquette. No one is going to confuse Marquette’s 5-4 record with a fantastic season, but when you turn around and say, “hey, a team with an incredibly young and not very deep offense got smacked by two teams playing their way towards an NCAA tournament berth,” you can’t really complain about how that turned out.
