That No. 2 seeding in the NCAA Tournament that the Marquette men’s basketball team seemed headed for this season is likely slipping away from the Golden Eagles.

MU (18-6, 9-4 Big East) has lost three straight games, albeit to good teams in Connecticut at home and St. John’s and Creighton on the road. But the defeats still ding the Golden Eagles’ profile a bit.

Each Monday, the Journal Sentinel will take a look at MU’s previous week and assess how its résumé has changed and stacks up to the competition.
