If Marquette wants to win the Big East regular season title, they have to get two wins this weekend.
Actually, while that’s probably true, hoping DePaul loses twice in the next 12 games is probably a bit of a steep price. The Blue Demons are 6-0 in league play, while Marquette sits in third place at 4-2. Creighton sits in between the two squads at 5-1, so even hoping for two DePaul losses won’t be enough to get MU the title.
Let’s go at it from this angle: If Marquette wants to make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011, they have to get two wins this weekend.
