As we celebrate the return of the Marquette men’s basketball team to the Associated Press top 25 poll, we have to also acknowledge that Carolyn Kieger and the women’s team can’t help but look and say “yeah, and?”
Kieger’s team is still ranked #19 in the newest AP poll, holding steady in their spot from the preseason top 25. The Golden Eagles picked up 228 points this week, landing between Syracuse at #18 with 259 points and Texas A&M at #20 with 182.
ESPN’s Rebecca Lobo, something of an honorary Golden Eagle by marriage, has Marquette ranked the highest amongst all the voters, putting them at #9 on her ballot.
