If you’re a racing fan, you might be interested this week in the the pole position at Daytona.
If you’re a Marquette basketball fan, you’re probably more concerned with poll position.
For the second time this season, the No. 4 Golden Eagles have a chance to dethrone a team at the top of the national rankings.
And it’s the first of what could be three meetings with No. 1 Connecticut in less than a month. The Huskies will visit Fiserv Forum March 2 and the two teams could meet in the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden the following week.
UConn (23-2 overall, 13-1 Big East) has a two-game lead in the conference standings, but MU has already upset a top-ranked team this season away from home.
Marquette defeated No. 1 Kansas in the Maui Invitational before losing the next night to now-No. 2 Purdue. A win over the Huskies Saturday would likely put MU in legitimate position for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Bracket Matrix has the Golden Eagles projected as the highest No. 2 seed currently, with four weeks to go before the bids are revealed.
Marquette (19-5, 10-3) is attempting to extend an eight-game winning streak Saturday in Hartford. Five of those victories have come on the road.
