After going 1-1 over the last week to start Big East play, Marquette men’s basketball has dipped a little bit in the Associated Press top 25 rankings. They were #16 last week, but the New Year’s Day loss to St. John’s has caused them to drop to #21 in this week’s poll. Marquette got 340 points this week, which put them in between Iowa State at 344 points and well ahead of Indiana at #22 with 245 points.
Shannon Ryan of the Chicago Tribune is no longer carrying the banner for Marquette.
