Projection: likely out

Marquette has shown it can hang with good teams at times, highlighted by a thumping win over Creighton and a wild, high-scoring victory over Providence, but those signature moments are offset by a string of poor road performances that undermine the resume. The profile is marred by heavy defeats at Purdue and Wisconsin and lop-sided losses away at St John's and UConn, and even home opportunities against solid league rivals have produced disappointing results like setbacks to Georgetown and Seton Hall. Close games against Villanova and Oklahoma suggest the team is competitive on any given night, yet the inability to finish on the road leaves the committee uneasy. With several difficult league road tests and a couple of home games that could flip the narrative still to play, Marquette’s season will be judged by whether it can demonstrate road toughness against top conference opponents.
