Last week, Marquette men’s basketball smacked then-#6 Baylor to the tune of 26 points, and it was a game that was never in doubt for the final 30 minutes or so. They also lost in overtime to Wisconsin, a team that was earning Associated Press top 25 votes, and both of those games happened in Marquette’s barn.
So, how do you assess that if you’re an AP voter? Turns out, if you’re anyone except for Dylan Sinn and John Werner, you just ignore all of it. Sinn voted Marquette #20 in the country, while Werner put them in at #25, and that gives the Golden Eagles seven points in the new Associated Press poll.
