Conference tournaments in college basketball are a unique phenomenon. In no other major American sport can teams flip a four-month script in just four days. Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski embraced this opportunity ahead of his team’s game against the DePaul Blue Demons Wednesday in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament.
“We’re excited about the BIG EAST Tournament,” Wojo said. “Everybody starts again zero-and-zero.”
While Marquette fans are no doubt aware of the team’s precarious status on the NCAA Tournament bubble – BracketMatrix has the Golden Eagles as the second team out of March Madness – Wojo said he is solely focused on rebounding from Marquette’s 70-62 loss to DePaul two weeks ago.
