marquette 42nd in country, 10th in big east

[marquette99]

www.kenpom.com has mu as 42nd in the country, just a few spots behind last year, but 10th in the big east. Latest team to pass us is st john's after beating arizona state easily. The beast looks loaded again afterall. We had no margin for error last year because of marginal talent, but may have no margin for error this year due to level of competition.  Watching lville destroy marshall at the moment. We have plenty of creampuffs but over half of this schedule will be brutal and fun - 12 big east teams in or just outside the top 50, gonzaga, duke, wisconsin and at vandy.  If we just win enough to even sneak into the tourney, we will be battle tested and believe our weaknesses will get corrected by unforgiving opponents.

I thought Chicos was in charge of posting our ranking?  Maybe he's only responsible for the rankings that show us outside of the top 50?
