After Xavier, the Big East could struggle to put another team in the field of 68. Marquette (15–10, 6–7) was headed in the right direction after beating Creighton and Villanova late last month, but the Golden Eagles have stumbled over the last few weeks. They’ve dropped four of their last five games, including losses to Providence, St. John’s and Georgetown. The strength of their good wins, especially the Villanova one, still has them in our field of 68 in this week’s Bracket Watch, but anything’s possible after their recent struggles. They have just one game this week, hosting Xavier on Saturday. That’s the perfect opportunity to right the ship.
