You posted a 4 year window in which Marquette underwent a major coaching change?

Convienently made the cut line RIGHT AFTER sweet 16, sweet 16, elite 8. 1 BE regular season title(kinda a second depending on how you look at Cuse having theirs taken). 8 straight tourney appearances.

Pretty convienent.

But yeah, Wojo is laying his foundation. Getting 5 stars to start coming.


Neat! Iowa has done the same thing in the past. Middle of the road program. Sometimes good, sometimes not so much.

With no ties to Marquette, how did you become such a superfan?

Guessing you jumped on the bandwagon during D Wade.

Except Marquette is a bonfide top 25 all time program. So yeah, there's that.

Please stop comparing them to Iowa. It really shows you clearly dont follow much hoops and are roughly 15 years old.

You really need to learn the term bandwagon lmao and how to read.

1. I said my whole life. So unless I am 15 that doesn't work. And if you think I am 15 that makes @Nosferatu quite the weirdo.

2. Even if Dwade did draw me in. You can't bandwagon something if it's the only team you root for year after year....and you called Marquette "middle of the road". That typically doesn't apply to "bandwagon".

Just sayin.

I explained the Oklahoma thing!

This is going to seem like i'm making it up but you can axe the other guys in the league. OBX, Ritz, Femur, Meebs, 500. I picked up Buxton September 4th in my fantasy league he then proceeded to go 0 - 18 so I dropped him, he hit a home run the next day! I swear thats a true story.

21 North Carolina State 366
23 Iowa 343

50 in 50 rankings: Conference breakdowns

Now this was 5 years ago.

1 elite 8, a 1st round loss and 3 missed tournies might drop Marquette a little

But Iowa hasn't done much to improve their standing.

You mentioned Marquette and the 70s(where they were a true blue blood type).

Yet the only thing worth noting for Iowa beyond 1970 is a final 4 in 1980 lol.

So the AP is wrong?

How did you choose to follow Marquette? Throw a dart a map when picking your favorite team?

So espn is wrong? It's a bunch of opinions anywhere you look.

Difference is outside of the 1950s nothing has been compiled by Iowa worth noting since the 80s.

Iowa hasn't been to a sweet 16 this damn century.

So ya, if you want to go this century. Marquette far better.

And if you want to go by black and white tv era. Marquette in the 70s was far more dominant then Iowa in the 50s.

And then pro success and the current resources of the schools. It's really not close.

I've lived in the Midwest my whole life. Huge college basketball fan and Marquette was the team I followed.

I'll always support gopher sports for Minnesota loyalty. But as a hockey fan gopher hockey is the only one I really care about.

The one I posted was based of their average end of the year ranking of all time. Your's appeared to be an opinion piece.

Now, for the first time, the AP is using that data to go past the Top 25 of the moment and ask: what are the top 100 programs of all-time? To determine that, the AP reviewed the weekly polls and counted appearances (1 point) to mark consistency and No. 1 rankings (2 points) to acknowledge elite programs. The results don't factor in national championships because the AP doesn't release a poll after the NCAA Tournament. Still, the teams at the top are a who's who of college basketball royalty.

They are both average programs.

Because you live in the midwest you picked them? lol

You act like Marquette is Duke, Kentucky, or UNC. They are not. They are average, like Iowa

Wow. Ya you really don't know college basketball.

Duke and Kentucky and UNC are blue bloods.

Marquette is a very good high major program.

Iowa is a middle of the pack program.

The loaded old BE(16 teams...uconn, cuse, UL, Pitt etc..) dominated college basketball. One year getting 3 1 seeds. Another year getting 11/16 teams in.

Marquette was a part of that for 8 seasons. The only team to make the tourney every year was Marquette. The only team to finish 9-9 or better in conference every year was Marquette(the only year they even finished 9-9 was that 11 team year. Still made sweet 16).

They are not an average college basketball program lol. Anyone who follows the sport wil tell you that.

Keep trying. I'll have substantial support to refute you every time.
