MARQUETTE

Perhaps no team was decimated more by the transfer market than Marquette. The Golden Eagles lost both of the Hauser brothers in March, robbing Markus Howard of two elite sharpshooters. But Howard was a consensus All-American for a reason. He’s arguably college basketball’s premier scorers, an elite high-volume guard who can pour in 50 on a given night. His presence alone should carry Marquette to the tournament.

Can the Golden Eagles actually make any noise in March? The jury is still out. Senior Sacar Anim will need to carry an increased scoring burden and an improvement from last year’s No. 123 scoring defense will help lighten Howard’s load. Howard is good enough to keep playing into March. He’ll need some unexpected help to make noise in the tournament.

Sort of tepid support given that the writer actually selected us as one of only five sleeper teams. Still, a pretty nice endorsement given that you'd think most writers would simply look at the Hausers leaving and think we're decimated.

Not if they've simply blocked about 3 posters.

I'll admit, I cringed when I saw that. Just a huge dose of statistical stupid.
