After a 1-1 week where the Golden Eagles pushed #1 Notre Dame to overtime and got pushed by a second half rally from Providence, the Cascade/Maverik media voters ended up more impressed with Marquette than they were a week ago. Last week, Marquette was #17 in the country and this week, they're up to #15.
The Irish stayed steady at #1, while Denver took advantage of a Yale loss to Brown to slide up to the #2 spot in the poll. Marquette will wrap up the regular season on the road against the Pioneers, and the Big East regular season title will be on the line in that game, regardless of what happens to DU this coming weekend against Providence.
