Projection: likely out

Marquette’s résumé is anchored by its best moments — the home win over Connecticut and gritty road victories at Georgetown and Providence that show the team can close out big games away from home — but those positives are offset by its worst moments, most notably heavy setbacks at Purdue, Wisconsin and Creighton and ugly road losses at St. John’s, Villanova and Xavier that will stick with the committee. The remaining opportunities for signature wins are limited, so unless Marquette turns any remaining road or neutral-site chances into statement results those damaging defeats will outweigh the high points and keep the team on the wrong side of the bubble.
