Marquette will probably make the NCAA tournament even if they don't win the Big East tournament, but they should aim for an automatic bid to be safe.
•   If the Golden Eagles can get to 22 total wins (including conference tournament wins), their odds to make the NCAA tournament increase to 99%.
•   We project the Golden Eagles with a 23% chance to make the Sweet Sixteen and a 4% chance to reach the Final Four.
•   Marquette has a 1% chance to win the NCAA Tournament. That may not sound like much, but few teams even have this good of a chance.
