Look, Marquette just needs to play better than they did on Wednesday.
Sure, Marquette won, beating DePaul 3-2, and thus staying alone in first place in the Big East. That’s the good news. But it took a reverse sweep after falling down 2-0 in relatively ugly fashion AND Marquette needed to fend off match point THREE TIMES in order to finally take the fifth set 16-14.
It was not good under any circumstances, and the Golden Eagles were lucky to get the win.
To put it in perspective: The rally helped Marquette avoid their first loss to an unranked team this season.
