On Wednesday, the Big East announced the 2019 preseason awards for men’s lacrosse and there’s more than a little bit of attention paid to the Marquette Golden Eagles along the way. Marquette is picked to finish second in the league this year by vote of the coaches in the conference.
That is the best spot in the preseason poll for the Golden Eagles. In four of the five seasons of Marquette’s participation in the Big East, the Golden Eagles have outperformed their preseason prognostication. Until Denver actually loses a conference game, let’s all just presume that this year will not be a year where MU manages to do better than their preseason pick.
