Part one of a five part exam passed with flying colors.
Following Sunday’s (mostly) dominating victory over Michigan, Marquette sits at 6-1 overall with only a road loss against a very good Miami team tarnishing their record. That’s good enough to be ranked #18 in the country in the Associated Press poll, and through the end of action on Tuesday, December 4th, the Golden Eagles are set up as the #8 team in the NCAA’s RPI calculation. They have a 2-1 record against top 25 teams already, which is very good news already at this part of the year.
