Projection: likely out

Marquette’s profile is built on high-octane home performances, highlighted by a dominant victory over Creighton and a wild offensive night against Providence and a narrow home escape against Xavier, but those bright spots are undermined by a pattern of damaging road and neutral losses, including difficult outings at Wisconsin and Purdue and a heavy neutral setback to Indiana, that expose defensive lapses and a struggle to win away from campus. The best moments prove the offense can carry the team in familiar settings, yet the worst results against quality Big East foes such as Connecticut and Villanova show a resume weakened by bad losses rather than bolstered by road or neutral-site signature wins. Upcoming home dates with Butler and DePaul and a critical home meeting with Connecticut offer clear chances to repair the resume while trips to Villanova, Xavier and Providence are the must-win opportunities that will determine whether the current projection holds.
