Let’s say it because it’s fun to say: YOUR FIRST PLACE MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES!
Okay, okay. Yes, it’s a five-way tie for first place with everyone having played one game. Half the league won, half the league lost, and thus, Marquette is one part of that quintet at 1-0.
With that being the case, the question becomes how long can the Golden Eagles hold on to their share of the lead. If they’re focused and give each game their best effort, it might be a while. The next three games, including Saturday’s contest: at Villanova, home vs Temple, and at Butler.
