Betsey […]

O said that this preview should simply state that “Indiana is very good and MSU is very bad.” I’m not sure he was fully serious but that certainly is an accurate summation. When MSU travels to Bloomington, IN to take on the Hoosiers, it may well be a matchup of the best team in the […]

I gotta get this off of my chest: Villanova is very mean. Not because they are beating Marquette women’s soccer 3-0 as I type this with about 15 minutes left to go in the match. My issue is that they’re not capturing the goals as highlights and posting them on social media, thus allowing me […]

Cara Consuegra has an interesting thing happening with her 2025-26 Marquette women’s basketball team: She brings everyone back from her first season in charge. Not her entire rotation, not everyone except her seniors. Everyone, all 12 women, back for one more go-around. That does present a teeeeeeny little bit of a problem when it comes […]
