A Tough 0-2 Marq

The Marquette Warriors might look back on this week and cringe on Selection Sunday. Because, unfortunately, close doesn't count much with pollsters. Three days after losing in Morgantown on DeShaun Butler's buzzer beater, the Warriors dropped another game in heartbreaking fashion, this time at home to Villanova.

Scottie Reynolds penetrated, drew contact and hit a leaner in the lane with 16 seconds to go to finally give Villanova the lead late. Marquette missed from point-blank range with three seconds to go and dropped to 0-2 in the Big East. Not only are they winless in conference, they missed out on two valuable chances to add a marquee win (both are currently ranked in the Top 10) on their resume. In a conference as fiesty and deep as the Big East, these two games could likely be the difference between the Big Dance and the NIT.
