The Golden Eagles face a stern test in order to hold on to their share of first place in the Big East.
For the second time in three seasons, Marquette is 1-0 in Big East play. That's exciting!
Unfortunately for the Golden Eagles, they now only have a record of 3-12 in two-plus seasons as a member of the Big East. Two wins over Cincinnati each of the last two seasons and last week's road W against Villanova. That's not great. Still, it's better to start the league schedule with a win when you're looking for the first two win conference season in program history.
