Does Theis make a change or continue to be stubborn and play a senior who shouldn’t be on the floor.

While watching Illinois play Bradley last night I recognized Hope Werch coaching for the Braves! Thought Marquette fans might like to know, if you didn't already : )

I think what I’d like to see is give Reitsma the Libero jersey, have Holmstom slot in at OH2 and let Kushner take her back row.
Holmstrom has terminated pretty well in her limited opportunities in the front row.

A lot of good things tonight for Marquette. Tempo was a lot quicker than it'd been the last couple of games. Much more aggressive and got hands on more balls than I thought they would. The one aspect of their game that really needs to improve is winning the last five points once they get to 20. This week of four games in six days will be rough. Hopefully they still have something in the tank for when the play Oregon on Sunday.

Marquette sweeps Air Force. And gets swept by Oregon. Well the grueling non-conference is over and I’m not sure Marquette achieved all that they wanted. Hopefully right now they are a “bubble” in team, but they will have to beat Creighton 2/3 at the very least where the tournament is concerned.

Marquette will be a Top 25 RPI team even if they lose all 3 to Creighton, and probably even with another Big East loss. They'll be safely into the tourney. It feels dirty, but that's the RPI for you.

RPI 24 Finally above.500 Have a “trap” game tomorrow at 11 am vs DePaul and then can focus on Creighton. If they can beat Creighton at home, they’ll give themselves a nice cushion.
First things first, they have to beat DePaul.

Of course both teams are in the same situation but these things have a way of biting the favored team in the butt.

Marquette will be a Top 25 RPI team even if they lose all 3 to Creighton, and probably even with another Big East loss. They'll be safely into the tourney. It feels dirty, but that's the RPI for you. I was about to say: Marquette can still easily host. But, don't ever trust me on Marquette. Marquette is a perennial miss in Bracketology. Since 2014, I've been able to predict 15/16 of the top-16 seeds correctly every year. This doesn't mean they are in the right spot, but, only one team that I said would host actually hasn't, and only one team I said wouldn't host actually has each year over that stretch. Marquette is the outlier. I have missed *FOUR* times on Marquette. There's no other single team that has been a miss more than once. In 2013 and 2019, I predicted Marquette should host 1st/2nd rounds, and they did not. In 2018 and 2022, I predicted Marquette should not host, and, they get awarded with a seed. I have a feeling it's due to early bracket building/committee shenanigan with the Big East Tournament being held the last couple days of the season. Actually, I missed on Creighton that one year they sent them to North Carolina too, so, it looks like about half of my seeding misses in the past 10 years are solely due to the Big East....
