On Saturday, #17/#17 Marquette put on what amounted to a historically bad offensive performance against #9/#10 Ohio State.
Since it was the first college basketball game ever broadcast on Fox, people noticed.
As such, Marquette fell in the polls, even though they lost to a top 10 team. The Associated Press voters combined to slot Marquette at #25, while the coaches that submit ballots to USA Today dropped Marquette out of the top 25, although MU fell just three points behind #25 Iowa.
The good news from a wider vantage point is that Marquette finally has company in the top 25. The 3-0 Creighton Bluejays are ranked at #23 in both polls, giving the Big East two teams in the AP Top 25.
