Will meeting the Pioneers for the second time in a week make a difference for the Golden Eagles?
Big East Men's Lacrosse Championship Game
#1 Denver (13-1, 5-0 Big East) vs #2 Marquette (10-4, 4-1 Big East)
Keeping it simple: The winner of this game gets the Big East's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Diving deeper: Denver's already guaranteed a spot in the tournament. The defending Big East and national champions are ranked #1 in the country in the Cascade/Maverik media poll, and according to LaxPower's approximation, they're #3 in RPI. That's not going to collapse with a loss to a Marquette team that currently sits at #10 in the RPI.
