Hello! Congrats to you, the Marquette men’s basketball fan, as you now cheer for a top 20 team.
On Monday, the Associated Press released their newest weekly top 25 rankings as they always do. Your Golden Eagles are now the #18 team in the country following their home win over then-#12 Villanova last week. That’s a big jump up from last week when MU was #24 in the country.
Marquette picked up 522 points in the polling this time around. That leaves them not very far at all from #17 Michigan State with 536 points, but a long way ahead of #19 Tennessee with 377 points.
