Right after the Big East announced the availability reports for Marquette’s men’s basketball game against #4 UConn on Sunday morning, three hours before tipoff, the official Marquette team Twitter account provided a slight bit of extra context. Sean Jones is out for Sunday’s game with some sort of foot injury. Props to whoever was manning […]
Your eyes do not deceive you! It’s time to talk about women’s lacrosse in the Big East for the 2026 season! Given when Marquette’s season will start, and then working backwards from there on a timeline to bring you a season preview, I need to make my preseason all-conference picks now so I am well […]

It’s not a gigantic day of college basketball on national television, but that’s not surprising. It’s the final Sunday of the NFL regular season, and how many tippity top college hoops games do you really want to spend against that calendar? In any case, there are 23 games on national television today, with a majority […]
I would like it if Marquette would stop being interesting. The 73-66 loss to St. John’s on December 29th was run-of-the-mill interesting as far as basketball goes, as Marquette missed 14 layups in the game. Four in were in the fourth quarter, all of which were when the Golden Eagles were within a possession. If […]

HELLO AND WELCOME TO 2026! It’s the first Saturday of the year, and since we’re past the majority of the college football playoffs/bowl games, there is A TON of college basketball on national television today! I’m counting 37 games in total, split 36 for the men and one for the women. The one women’s game […]
On New Year’s Eve, I had it pointed out to me that Ken Pomeroy, the proprietor of KenPom.com, the always helpful college basketball analytics website, had made a teeeeeeny tiny update to his website. Nothing major, no real changes, just a new addition. Now, in addition to the Four Factors and the usual shooting percentages […]
If I had told you on New Year’s Morning that Marquette was going to have the following conditions for their game later that day on the road against Xavier, what would your reaction have been? It’s not a rosy projection, is it? But thanks to a 14-0 run led by six points from Halle Vice […]
The missed layups were the problem on Monday night against St. John’s, but there’s an argument to be made that Marquette women’s basketball had a lot bigger problems than that against the Red Storm. As I was starting to put together this preview, I couldn’t help but notice that the game against the Red Storm […]
On Tuesday night, Marquette men’s basketball lost 79-73 to a Seton Hall team that’s just a shade outside the Associated Press top 25. If you want to think and talk about that, please head on over to our recap of the endeavor. What happened after the game ended is something that happens after every game […]
As I watched Seton Hall blast past Marquette in the final three minutes with a 13-0 run to flip a seven point MU advantage to a six point SHU victory, I thought to myself, “oh, right, this team hasn’t gotten a chance from their terrible non-conference performance to learn how to win games when it […]

We have a NEW GOLDEN EAGLE to discuss, as Class of 2027 Wisconsin prospect Haylie Dulas has announced her verbal commitment to Cara Consuegra and Marquette women’s basketball. Here’s the text from her Instagram post, for posterity’s sake: I am very blessed and excited to announce my verbal commitment to play basketball and continue my […]
By now you should be aware that Zaide Lowery is no longer on the Marquette men’s basketball roster. If not, we’ve got a whole post about that already. Go read that to make sure you’re up to speed as to what’s going on here. What we’re doing here is [loud sighing noises] admitting that Noted […]
We’re officially out of the Christmas break by the time this hits the internet airwaves on Sunday night. Big East women’s basketball had a four game slate on Sunday, three league games and Providence making the trip down to South Carolina, so that made the end of break pretty official. There’s another two women’s games […]
Our long national nightmare is over: After a DNP-CD on December 17 and a Did Not Travel — Personal Reasons on December 20th, Marquette men’s basketball announced on Sunday night that junior Zaide Lowery is no longer a part of the team. For posterity’s sake: Junior guard Zaide Lowery will not return to the Marquette […]
It’s nothing but Big East games for Marquette women’s basketball from here on out. They wrapped up non-conference play on December 20th with an 86-43 victory over Division 2 Truman State, just three days after losing 89-53 to #1 UConn. Yes, that does mean Marquette started Big East play before finishing non-conference play, which is […]
DID YOU KNOW? Marquette women’s basketball is already THREE games into Big East play? It’s true! The Golden Eagles started off Big East action by shoving DePaul and Butler into a trash can back in early December, and then followed that up by getting shoved into a trash can by #1 UConn last week to […]
It’s time for a SUNDAY NIGHT EDITION of What To Watch because we’ve got a pair of very early Monday games, one for men’s basketball, and one for women’s basketball in the Big East. On top of that, the men’s calendar for the week wraps up on Tuesday anyway, so the earlier the better when […]
On Saturday morning, I had some free time, and I said to myself, hey, let’s put together a preview publishing schedule for Marquette lacrosse. It’s been a minute since Meredith Black announced her team’s 2026 slate, so I can at least start putting together a framework for timing even though there’s been no press release […]
Okay, the Marquette men’s basketball game against Creighton is now under 10 minutes to go, so it actually makes sense to start writing this recap. I waited til now because, in theory, there was an awful lot of basketball left to be played, so it was mathematically possible that something different would start happening. Nope, […]
With just a touch less than three hours to go before tipoff in Omaha on Saturday night, Marquette men’s basketball announced that junior guard Zaide Lowery did not travel with the team for personal reasons. As a result of not being in Nebraska, he is obviously out for the game against Creighton. Okay, let’s take […]
