WHOOPS. My bad, everyone. I missed the window to actually get this post up in between the Philadelphia 76ers advancing to the second round to face the New York Knicks on Saturday and Game 1 of that Eastern Conference semifinal series on Monday. I totally had time to do it on Sunday night and Monday […]
Well, it was a valiant effort by Xavier men’s golf, firing off a team score of 13 under par, but they came up short against YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles on Monday at Riverton Pointe Golf Club, as MU finished the three round event with a score of 17 under par. That’s still good enough for […]
A looooooooooong day of golf came to a stop just before 7pm Central at Riverton Point Golf Club in South Carolina on Sunday, and after 36 holes, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles are out in front of the 2026 Big East men’s golf championship. As a team, the Golden Eagles are 11 shots under par through […]
I don’t know when precisely that Bart Torvik hit the publish button on the preseason rankings for men’s college basketball in the 2026-27 season, but I do know that Andrei from Paint Touches tipped me off to it late on May 1st. Pretty reasonable day to do it, honestly. About a month after the portal […]
UPDATE [5/2, 9:15am CT]: Due to weather in South Carolina, the first round of the Championship has been postponed. The teams will play 36 holes in a shotgun start on Sunday, starting at 7am Central time. Somewhat quietly, head coach Steve Bailey has built Marquette men’s golf into the dominant program in the Big East. […]
Trailing the #17 team in the country by two goals at the end of the first quarter of the Big East tournament semifinals? Not too bad, especially after you clawed a goal back in the closing seconds of the frame. Trailing the #17 team in the country by five goals midway through the second quarter? […]
The Big East announced the postseason awards for women’s lacrosse on Wednesday, and it was a big day for YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles. We’re going to have to go piece by piece here because we don’t want to overlook anything. FIRST: Hanna Bodner was named Midfielder of the Year for the second consecutive season AND […]
The Big East announced the results of the end of season polling in men’s lacrosse on Wednesday, right before the conference tournament gets started on Thursday in Rhode Island. With Marquette finishing 6-7 on the year and missing the Big East tournament by way of a tiebreaker at 2-3, it’s not surprising that the Golden […]
2026 Big East Women’s Lacrosse Tournament Semifinals #1 Denver Pioneers (13-3, 6-0 Big East) vs #4 Marquette Golden Eagles (9-6, 3-3 Big East) Date: Thursday, April 30, 2026Time: 5pm CentralLocation: Peter Barton Stadium, Denver, ColoradoStreaming: ESPN+Live Stats: Sidearm Stats Season Series: Denver won, 15-9All-Time Series: Denver leads, 11-0 At a glance, this seems like not […]
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that the NCAA was on the verge of expanding the men’s and women’s basketball national championship tournaments from their current size of 68 teams to 76 teams. In the wake of that story, CBS Sports, specifically Matt Norlander and Gary Parrish, did the actual work involved in breaking that […]
The Marquette women’s basketball locker room keeps getting a little bit busier for the 2026-27 season. On Monday, head coach Cara Consuegra got a commitment from Noelle Anthon. She’s a 6’2” forward from Oconomowoc, and she has spent the past two seasons at Hutchinson Community College. Back in her senior season for Oconomowoc, Anthon averaged […]
With the 2025-26 season long since in the books, let’s take a few moments to look back at the performance of each member of YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles this year. While we’re at it, we’ll also take a look back at our player previews and see how our preseason prognostications stack up with how things actually played […]
The 2026 women’s lacrosse regular season wrapped up for the Big East on Saturday, and as such, the four team conference tournament bracket is locked in place and ready for next weekend! Denver is the #1 seed in the field, as they won the regular season Big East championship with a perfect 6-0 record. Georgetown […]
Connecticut’s quarter-by-quarter goal totals from Saturday’s 12-10 win over Marquette women’s lacrosse: 3, 2, 5, 2 Connecticut’s quarter-by-quarter turnover totals from the game: 4, 4, 4, 5 I watched this game and I do not understand how Marquette lost. Time after time after time, UConn was putting the ball on the turf and Marquette was […]
In retrospect, the three overtime games in Big East play was probably a bad sign. On Friday night in the Rocky Mountains, Marquette men’s lacrosse couldn’t make a 2-0 lead (in the first minute!) or a 3-2 first quarter lead stand up, and they couldn’t find a way to a finish after a tie with […]
Turns out that I was both right and wrong last weekend? I went into Marquette’s Senior Day game against Butler thinking that the Golden Eagles could clinch a Big East tournament berth with a win and some help, but that was because I screwed up the tiebreaker math and who already had a win in […]
The Marquette women’s basketball roster continues to update for the 2026-27 season. We got two updates for the roster on Thursday, one that’s pretty straight forward, and one that I’m not 100% sure as to the details. Let’s start with the one that’s less of a mystery. MacKenzie Givens You might remember MacKenzie Givens from […]
I think Marquette women’s basketball head coach Cara Consuegra has a full staff once again. On Thursday, the team announced that Joe Silvestri joined the team as an assistant coach. Here’s Consuegra on her new employee: “Joe brings an elite level of energy and high basketball IQ to our program,” Consuegra said. “He has been […]
Win a regular season game against Denver in Colorado for the first time in program history, or watch the season end. That’s the list of options for Marquette men’s lacrosse on Friday night. A loss would drop the Golden Eagles to 2-3 in Big East play while raising Denver to 2-3. Obviously the Pioneers win […]
The regular season for women’s lacrosse wraps up this weekend with three Big East contests on Saturday and a stray Xavier/San Diego State game on Sunday. With that in mind, and the approach of the conference tournament semifinals on April 30th, we should probably make some postseason award picks, huh? Once we get past Sunday, […]
The final three games of the Big East men’s lacrosse will be played on Friday night across the country, so it’s probably a good time to make some postseason award picks, huh? That Big East conference tournament starts up on April 30th in Rhode Island, and you know the league office is going to fire […]
When word got out in mid-February that Marquette men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart was going to evolve his roster through the use of the transfer portal, there was one looming thought in my mind: When you open a door to bring something in, sometimes things you don’t want to leave manage to slip out. […]
It’s that time of the year: CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reports non-conference men’s basketball schedules. In this case, it’s Marquette and Missouri agreeing to play a neutral site game in Chicago at the United Center, and the game is reportedly being scheduled for Sunday, November 15th. This will be the second straight season with a […]
Marquette women’s basketball head coach Cara Consuegra is getting closer and closer to an actual useable roster for the 2026-27 college basketball season. That trendline continued on Tuesday when Consuegra and the Golden Eagles picked up a transfer commitment from Yu Han Lin. She is listed as a 5’9” guard by Middle Tennessee, which is […]
It was quiet, then it wasn’t with the commitment of Sananda Fru to join Marquette men’s basketball for the 2026-27 season. Apparently, once the dam broke, it was only a matter of time until Shaka Smart kept things moving in a positive direction, and so: St. Thomas transfer and Brookfield, Wisconsin resident Nolan Minessale will […]
