Turns out beating the #3 team in the country is pretty good for your national recognition.
Back on Saturday evening, Marquette women’s basketball downed #3 ranked Texas. That led to a Sunday win over a Gonzaga team that was earning top 25 votes in last week’s poll. Those two wins did a lot of work for the Golden Eagles when the Associated Press voters turned in their ballots on Sunday night, as MU is now the unofficial #27 team in the country!
Marquette picked up 65 points in the polling, leaving them four points behind Oklahoma, the first team outside the top 25, and six points behind #25 Kansas State.
