Marquette fared well in their first season of the post-Tony Miller era.  His absence was evident on December 6th though.  Even though Marquette dominated Coppin State 95-69, Coppin State's Antoine Brockington managed to tie a Bradley Center record with seven steals.  Marquette played seven games against top-25 opponents, winning five of those contests.  For the first and only time in Mike Deane's tenure, Marquette finished the season ranked 23rd in the CNN/USA Today poll and 20th in the AP poll.
