Marquette basketball refuses to go away.
After losing to Providence on National Marquette Day and St. John’s in Queens, New York, Feb. 10, the Golden Eagles’ March Madness hopes were reduced to nearly zero.
The Golden Eagles’ 16-point comeback victory on the road against Creighton didn’t entirely revive those hopes; BracketMatrix, an aggregator of 113 March Madness projects, has Marquette in its “next four out.” However, the win kept Marquette’s persistent hopes alive.
“I think our guys felt really proud of our game at Creighton, but we have to do it again,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
