Marquette Volleyball Preview: at Villanova & at Georgetown
Two final road matches in the regular season for the Golden Eagles as they aim to nail down a regular season title & an NCAA bid
As November progresses, it's an appropriate moment to examine NCAA tournament bracketology. Marquette appears to be doing well, especially if one's primary concern is whether the Golden Eagles maintain their NCAA tournament streak alive. ESPN's Charlie Creme included Marquette in his bracketology on Wednesday, placing them in the field but not in the first four seeds.
USA Today's John Leuzzi updated his bracketology to version 2.0 on Thursday, also placing Marquette as the #8 seed. An Instagram account dedicated to volleyball bracketology projected Marquette as a #8 seed as of November 2nd. This would mean Marquette faces Toledo in the first round at a pod hosted by #1 seed Pitt. Having an #8 seed position would keep the Golden Eagles at least eight spots away from the cut line, with the possibility of being 12 spots away if all the current "11 seeds" are actually at-large bids.
