I hope the guys get some rest…a new wrap on Parham’s arm, Kam limping around, Jop getting stitches in his hand, and who knows what else…

There is no doubt that there is some concern from the Marquette Golden Eagles fanbase despite beating the DePaul Blue Demons, but they will have a week off before they play next. It will be a perfect time for this team to rest up and get healthy. Marquette needs to get focused for the stretch run.
The Golden Eagles will not play again until next Tuesday, February 18 against the Seton Hall Pirates at home. Marquette will need to look better on the court when they get to play in the next game also.
