The Marquette Warriors finished the season 24-10 overall and 10-6 in the Big East. Marquette entered their second season in the Big East ranked #16 by the preseason AP Poll, and #17 by the preseason Coaches Poll. This is the highest preseason ranking for a Marquette team since 1977, when they were coming off their sole National Championship. They played eight ranked opponents during the season, winning five contests and losing three.

After losing Big East Defensive Player of the Year, Jerel McNeal, to a thumb injury, Marquette was saddled with an 8 seed in the NCAA tournament where Marquette fell to #9 Michigan State in the first round in dismal fashion.

Marquette finished the season ranked 20th in the AP Poll and their 34 games played was the most ever by a Marquette team, as were the 2,443 points scored.
