Last week, Marquette women’s basketball was undefeated and picked up votes in the Associated Press top 25 poll after defeating a ranked opponent.
Since then, the Golden Eagles grabbed another win over a ranked foe, but they also suffered their first loss of the season. How did the AP voters deal with that issue? As it turns out, they gave Marquette more points (26) than last week (18), but they dropped them back a spot. Last week, Marquette was unofficially the #31 team in the country, now they’re unofficially #32.
Somehow, that oddly makes sense.
