It was really good for Marquette’s postseason hopes to smash Villanova 20-6 in their last outing. The Golden Eagles will tangle with two ranked foes in league play this week, and with MU’s history against ranked teams (SPOILER ALERT: oh-fer), odds are they’ll be under .500 in league action when Sunday morning rolls around.
For now, though, Marquette is 2-1 in the Big East, and only looking up at unbeaten Florida, their opponent on Wednesday afternoon. However, it is a five-way logjam for second place at 2-1 at the moment, so it is quite unfortunately that MU has to run into the buzzsaw section of their schedule right now.
