Your home for coverage of Wisconsin's elite college athletics.
The men’s college basketball transfer portal opened up on Tuesday morning, and as of Sunday morning, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles have not evolved their roster with a commitment yet. That’s not particularly surprising, as I don’t think that anyone expected head coach Shaka Smart to be quick about any of this, not with just three […]
The fun news is that Nolan Rappis hit 100 career points on Saturday at Cooper Field. It came on his fourth point of the day as well as his second goal of the day. Rappis is the ninth man in Marquette men’s lacrosse history to reach the century mark. The bad news is that Marquette […]
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: THIS IS NOW A SEATTLE STORM BLOG. As confirmed by ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, former Marquette Golden Eagles guard Natisha Hiedmean will be signing a two year free agent contract with the Seattle Storm. The deal ends her two year run in Minnesota and will keep her in the WNBA for an eighth […]
It took nearly seven extra minutes past the expected run time for the first two games of Big East play for Marquette men’s lacrosse to wrap up their 2-0 start, but the end result is that the Golden Eagles have put themselves into a prime position heading into the final three games of the regular […]
On April 7th, Marquette men’s basketball announced that Jeremy Ballard would be joining the team as an assistant coach. At the time, I noted that part of the announcement of adding Ballard was not just the departure of Nevada Smith for the Siena head coaching position, but also the departure of assistant coach DeAndre Haynes. […]
On Tuesday, Marquette men’s basketball announced the hiring of Jeremy Ballard as an assistant coach. Well, sure, that makes sense, it’s been six days since Siena announced Nevada Smith as their new head coach, obviously Shaka Smart knew that Smith was up for the job long before that point, he went about his hiring process […]
We got Marquette women’s basketball news on Tuesday morning, just not new player news. Head coach Cara Consuegra has announced the addition of Sheila Boykin as an assistant coach. This is the space where quotes from Cara Consuegra via the press release would go, but GUESS WHAT: Marquette posted about this on social media without […]
The transfer portal for women’s college basketball officially opened on Monday, the day after the national championship game that saw UCLA stomping out South Carolina, 79-51. Apparently, “on Monday” meant “midnight Eastern,” as shortly after that border passed, On3’s Talia Goodman reported that Marquette forward Skylar Forbes is in the portal. A quick check of […]
I wonder if Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black would say that she saw the most complete performance of the season from her team on Saturday against #24 Villanova. Six of Marquette’s last eight games have been a wee bit shaky one way or another, and if you want to count a 15-9 loss […]
The possibility that Marquette men’s lacrosse would feed off their 6-1 rally to beat Providence in overtime last week and plow straight through a 2-8 St. John’s team that was coming off a 21-7 loss to Villanova ended a little bit past the midway point of the first quarter at Belson Stadium in Queens. We […]
Things continue to shift and change in the Marquette women’s basketball office as this offseason gets underway. We’ve already discussed a pair of player transfers that are already out in the public, and now we turn our attention to a change in head coach Cara Consuegra’s staff. On Friday morning, MU assistant coach Chaia Meier […]
Marquette women’s lacrosse is catching a bit of a bad break this season. With Denver as an ongoing nationally relevant program and both Butler and Xavier trying to figure themselves out in various stages of development as a Division 1 program, that leaves the Golden Eagles with three games every season that decide whether or […]
Yes, it’s early to say this, but Saturday is a must-win game for Marquette men’s lacrosse if they want to be in the Big East tournament. We can count, y’know? Four teams make the Big East tournament. Georgetown is ranked #11 in this week’s Inside Lacrosse top 20 media poll. As we talked about last […]
If you’re a long time reader of this here internet website, then you’re probably familiar with the Scholarship Chart. It has appeared towards the bottom of every Marquette Golden Eagles men’s and women’s basketball recruiting article for a good long time now. At some point in the past, I realized it was helpful to have a visual […]
Sometimes you have to look at a result in context. For example, when Marquette women’s lacrosse is 0-10 all time against Denver, and the Pioneers have won the last two meetings by 13 and 14 goals, AND the Pioneers are ranked for the 2026 encounter, AND Marquette was going through a struggle on one of […]
Since Marquette men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart used TNT Sports to announce that he will be evolving the Golden Eagles roster for the 2026-27 season, it was reasonable to wonder precisely that would mean for most of the 2025-26 roster. We’ve already nailed down that Nigel James, the 2026 Big East Freshman of the […]
It was reported by Jon Rothstein in the morning on Wednesday and then made official in the afternoon: Marquette men’s basketball assistant coach Nevada Smith will be leaving Milwaukee and heading to upstate New York as the new head coach for Siena. Here’s the press release: “My family and I could not be more excited […]

Officially, the transfer portal for men’s basketball doesn’t open up until the day after the national championship game. However, that doesn’t stop anyone from making an announcement or a declaration that they will be in the portal once it opens. It makes sense: Get the word out that you’re available, and no sense waiting until […]
I want to say that this mid-week Big East game doesn’t matter all that much to Marquette women’s lacrosse. It’s against a ranked opponent, it’s on the road, it’s against the preseason favorite in the league, it’s against the conference rival that Marquette has never beaten…. there’s a lot going on here that can all […]
Cara Consuegra’s 2026-27 roster is changing again. We already saw that Charia Smith will be departing the program with one year of eligibility remaining, and now we have another player doing the same. On Monday, Aryelle Stevens published a post on Instagram to announce that she will be departing Marquette with her degree in hand. […]
In the preview for Saturday’s Marquette/Xavier women’s lacrosse game, I pointed out 1) that Marquette has been having some trouble maintaining offensive consistency as games have gotten into high leverage moments and 2) Xavier’s defense has been pretty stingy this season. Both of those things seem to have played a part in Saturday’s 10-7 Marquette […]
YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles men’s lacrosse team is 1-0 in Big East play, and as somewhat accordant with team tradition, they did it in the most dramatic way possible. We could get lost in the details of Providence going up 4-1 in the first eight minutes, or Marquette cutting the lead back to just one […]
On Friday morning, the Marquette athletic department put out a very standard issue boilerplate press release announcing that the university has re-upped with Nike and Jordan Brand for all the uniforming and clothing needs for the Golden Eagles. Marquette Athletics announced on Friday morning the renewal of its partnership with Jordan Brand, Nike, Inc. and […]
We’re into the home stretch of the 2026 Marquette men’s lacrosse season as the only thing left to do is knock out the five games of Big East play starting on Saturday. In fact, let’s get the details on that game out of the way. Big East Game #1: at Providence Friars (4-6, 0-0 Big […]
