So....What are we ranked on Monday - 1/6/2025?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

At least until Shaka leaves for Madison, cause you know he was born there....

This is all part of Shaka's masterplan.  Lead a Marquette resurgence that eventually contributes to Gard getting fired so Shaka can ultimately land his dream job in Madison.

What does aol predict?

I tried to check but someone was on the landline phone so I couldn't log on.

[1SE]

Preston 6

Murray 8 (from 11)

Richey 6

I'd say we could make it to 6 - let's see

[JakeBarnes]

Seth Davis 8 up from 15.

[jutaw22mu]

I think it will be 6.

[Sturgeon General Warrior]

Villanova (#78 NET) and Seton Hall (#80) NET are just outside the magic top-75 number. Currently, Marquette's sweep of those teams gives them two Q2 and two Q3 wins. But if those teams moved into the top-75, those would become two Q1 and two Q2 wins, effectively moving two Q3 wins to Q1 wins.

Kind of unfortunate they play each other on Tuesday. SH is at Providence for their last game and Nova is home against UCONN. Would think wins in either of those would move them into the top 75.

Meaningless, but Katz has MU at #5.

No big loss. We have the coach from the regular season MVC champions waiting in the wings.

[BLWarrior91]

All I can say is wow...

5. Marquette (10): The Golden Eagles are Big East champs and are primed for a top four seed line in the NCAAs.

That's some seriously deep analysis from Katz - I think he's been spending too much energy trying to pump up the Big 10.

Always good when Katz says something good about Marquette!   It is rare!

Exactly

[Ardmore Mug]

I was initially thinking #6, but I "got this feeling" #5 ! ! !

What an exciting time for the program and the fanbase. It has been a long journey and literally could not be happier for the program. Again, Shaka and the team have blown away my expectations in short order and time to raise the bar.

Being so bullish on this team in preseason, as we both were, it's awesome to see even the optimists weren't optimistic enough

It's a little nuts when "top 5 in the conference after losing your top scorers" wasn't bullish enough. I expected some growth (o-max, tyler, kam), but this has been the dream situation. Trying to enjoy every minute here.

Hat's off to you on being maybe the biggest optimist for this season. This program is just getting started!!!

[Jay Bee]

If you would've said in Oct...

12-8 BEast - Wow, tall task. That would be amazing!!

15-5 - Fun to dream, but let's not be silly

17-3 - you need to be institutionalized

[BallBoy]

I am going to say 6.  Virginia lost twice and Arizona had a bad loss.  Texas should drop a spot with the loss to Baylor.

I thought 12-8 in BE was realistic goal. Never did I think this would happen so quickly. The record is amazing, but how the program is being run is more impressive to me. It looks like Shaka has been here five years, not two.
