Marquette heads into the 2016 season with an eye on shaking off the past two campaigns.
After winning their second straight Big East tournament title in 2013, Marquette has barely kept their head above .500 over the past two seasons. In his first 19 seasons at Marquette, head coach Markus Roeders had never won fewer than 11 games. 2014 brought just 10 wins and snapped a six year NCAA tournament streak, and 2015 was worse as the Golden Eagles finished 8-8-4. As you can guess, it was Roeders’ first non-winning season while manning the sidelines at Valley Fields.
