10. Marquette Golden Eagles (22-7)
Last week’s ranking: No. 5
Marquette’s four-game winning streak ended Saturday at Creighton after the nation’s leading assist man, Tyler Kolek, was absent from the lineup. The Golden Eagles fought back in the final moments to pull within a possession, but the Bluejays executed down the stretch behind Baylor Scheierman’s three 3-pointers.
“Certainly, looking at it from their standpoint, their program, that’s how you want a senior day to go for your seniors and departing guys,” Marquette coach Shaka Smart said. “I think from our standpoint, really proud of our guys’ fight, connectivity, energy, resilience, stamina, belief.”
