The AVCA released its first in-season poll of the 2018 season on Monday, and YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles...... are right where they were in the preseason poll: One spot outside the top 25.
However, while the Golden Eagles were 11 points away from a national ranking in the preseason, they are now ever so slightly closer. MU picked up 131 points, which is down from the preseason poll, but #25 Colorado State earned just 140 points. That has Marquette just nine points shy, and that’s a step forward.
As was the case in the preseason, Creighton is the only other Big East team earning votes in the poll.
