It was a bad sign for how Marquette women’s basketball was going to handle their regular season home finale when they went into the second quarter trailing 18-14. A Skylar Forbes layup in the final minute of the opening 10 minutes broke up a 9-0 Xavier run to jump out to a six point lead, […]

Clap hands and squeal for joy, everyone: YOUR Marquette men’s basketball team will not finish the year with a single digit win total. Thanks to the ineptitude of Ed Cooley and the Georgetown Hoyas, Marquette went out to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night and came home with a 76-60 victory. The Golden Eagles are now […]

Was Marquette women’s lacrosse good enough to beat Arizona State on Tuesday afternoon? Well, they were even with the Sun Devils at 15-all through the final 45 minutes, and they outscored ASU 9-8 after halftime, too. There appears to be a lot of evidence to suggest that the Golden Eagles had a winnable game in […]

Eventually the dam broke on Marquette women’s lacrosse last time out against Northwestern. It was bound to happen, that’s what happens when you play a top 10 ranked opponent that has the NCAA’s record holder for goals in a season on the roster. It was close for about 18 minutes, with CJ Meehan scoring to […]

With three regular season games left to go, Marquette women’s basketball can finish anywhere between third in the Big East and tied for seventh. With the top five teams in the standings skipping the opening day tripleheader at the conference tournament, there’s an obvious advantage to being on that side of the line instead of […]

Marquette’s first two games of the season were fine, mostly speaking. You don’t have to like that they went 0-2, even if it was against two ranked opponents, but the fact of the matter is that they made both Michigan and Notre Dame pull away from them in the second half. In ND’s case, it […]

After St. John’s went up 22-13 about midway through the first half on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum, the remainder of the first 20 minutes struck a note of “well, Marquette’s not going away.” The Golden Eagles immediately answered the Johnnies 7-0 run with one of their own to knock the margin back down to […]
