With Wednesday’s (slightly random) afternoon win over Xavier, Marquette moved themselves to 3-2 on the season in Big East action. That bumped them into a three way tie for third place in the conference, and thanks to tiebreakers at least for the moment, Marquette has the #3 spot in the conference. Only four teams make it to the Big East tournament, so it’s crucial to keep yourself in that top grouping.
Of course, there’s still 13 more matches to be played this season, so there’s a lot of chances for things to shift around on you. This weekend, Marquette will get a crack at one of the teams they’re tied with as well as one of the teams that’s in the current tie for sixth place.
