It’s February 14th today. YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles men’s basketball team sits at 14-11 overall and 5-8 in Big East play after losing five of their last six games.
Their hopes of making the NCAA tournament at this juncture seem to be, in a word, slim. I’ve said all season that 11-7 in Big East play would make any team a guaranteed lock to make the tournament, but that fork in the road is behind us now. 10-8 is likely to be good enough for an at-large bid, regardless of what does or does not happen in the Big East tournament, but to reach that mark, it would require the Golden Eagles to go from losing five of six to winning five straight.
