Well, it was bound to happen, I guess.
YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles lost five of their final nine regular season games, with two of those being of the “hey, whatcha doin’?” variety. The most recent “whatcha doin’?” game came this past week as MU lost at Wintrust Arena by nine to DePaul, and the second half of that game was not anywhere near as close as that score indicates.
As you would expect from that, Bret Bloomquist, Marquette’s final holdout in the Associated Press top 25 voting, has dropped the Golden Eagles from his ballot, and so MU is not receiving any votes at all in the poll for the first time this season since January 17th.
