Things have just not gone Marquette’s way this season.
Two one goal losses, one in double overtime to Drexel. One two goal loss in a game that was tied with 21 minutes to play. A series of injuries to starters, or in the case of Nolan Rappis, a freshman who was making everyone say “oh, let’s see what he’s got to say this season” when he got hurt.
This, that, and the other, and boom: Marquette is just 2-6 on the year with just one win in their last seven games. They’re riding a three game losing streak, including their most demoralizing loss of the year last time out, a 16-9 thrashing at the hands of Air Force.
