Last week, I was shocked to find out that someone was still voting for Marquette men’s lacrosse in the Inside Lacrosse top 20 poll. Sure, I understood voting for the Golden Eagles after they beat then-#5 Penn State, as well as continuing to vote for them after the following week’s win. After losing to Providence last week? Yeah, that didn’t make sense. Marquette really only had the PSU win to stake themselves to a top 20 ranking, so it stood to reason that there was no reason for votes after losing to Providence.
And yet that happened.
