This isn't pro sports. Conference standings don't mean anything in terms of ncaa bids. It's the best 36 at-large bids. Plus, one of few better wins for Marquette is against Butler. Plus, MU still has to play at Butler.
conference standings help us in the sense that if we can sneak into that top 6 it's one less obstacle for a young team to trip on. At that point we only need 2 wins as both would be over quality teams. After watching this squad lose to DePaul this season and struggle with some teams they shouldn't have every game is a scary one.
