Marquette Golden Eagles did it again. When asking a fan what is ‘it’? You could guess so many things. Did they collapse at the end of the year again? Yes, they did. They’ve lost five of six games. Are they one of the worst defensive teams in the power conferences? Yes, they are again. Is Marquette a mediocre team for what seems to be the third or fourth straight year under Steve Wojciechowski? Yes, that too. Marquette got blown out by 32 points in a game where they were down eight at halftime. They turned in one of the worst defensive performances of recent memory. Villanova is a great team per usual, but they’re not 2015 Kentucky. This is a disgusting performance from Marquette.

Congrats everyone, we witnessed history, the worst defensive performance for #mubb in the KenPom era! pic.twitter.com/wKFLya4cQh

The numbers for Villanova’s offense are stunning. They went nearly 60 percent from deep with making over 65 percent of their shots inside the arc. Marquette looked like they would rather be somewhere else on Wednesday night and let Villanova take it to them as they did earlier in the year. It is one thing to lose to a good team like Nova, it’s another thing to get treated like you’re the Blue Hose of Presbyterian.

Where does Marquette go from here? I guess you want to see some pride at this point. You’re not making the NCAA Tournament for what will be the fourth miss in Wojo’s seven years. But if you take away last year, it is 4-for-6, and that is way worse sounding. Who knows if Dawson Garcia and D.J. Carton will be back next year, but start building that momentum for next year. Let Justin Lewis rest for the remainder of the year and heal up for the following year. Seton Hall is typically a house of horrors for Marquette, so, I will not expect anything different, I just hope they fight a little bit more.
