It shouldn’t be a secret to you, the smart and intelligent Marquette men’s basketball fan, that Steve Wojciechowski’s teams have struggled on the defensive end of the court. According to KenPom.com, after a first season where Marquette ranked #69 in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency — or how many points they give up on a per possession basis, adjusted for strength of opponent — Wojciechowski’s teams got worse at getting stops in each of the next three seasons: #88, #165, and #182. Year five featured a top 50 defense, the first in Wojciechowski’s tenure, but only just barely at #45 in the country.
Is Marquette’s Defense Bad Or Unlucky?
