Your home for coverage of Wisconsin's elite college athletics.
As I type this on Monday morning, classes are back in session at Marquette for the spring semester, and so I presume that’s the case around the Big East. That’s a little guidepost on our way through the college basketball season, and so we continue to march towards the postseason week by week. As always, […]

Shouts to Andrei over at Paint Touches, as he very helpfully answered the call I put out at the top of the recap of Marquette’s 76-73 loss to Villanova. My biggest flaw as a basketball observer/recapper/blogger is that I stink at recognizing what is happening live. As such, when I saw Chase Ross badly miss […]

Let’s get it out of the way off the top: I think getting the ball to Chase Ross while he was 3-for-11 on the day and 2-for-6 from behind the arc against Villanova here in order to hit a three-pointer and tie the game and force overtime was a bad idea. I think going to […]

From the first four minutes of Thursday night’s adventures at the McGuire Center, it seemed that it was likely that Marquette was going to be able to assemble enough possessions to beat Creighton if they kept going like that. Obviously, they weren’t going to shut the Bluejays out after going up 8-0. But the Golden […]

For about 28 minutes on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum, I was thinking, “Man, I don’t know what the final score of this game is going to be, but I sure do like the attitude and fiery approach and overall sense of gritty toughness that Marquette men’s basketball is showing here tonight.” Over the span […]

Okay, so look. Marquette isn’t going to shoot 61% on three-pointers every single game for the rest of the year. BUT Sunday against Villanova was the second time this season that Marquette has connected on over 60% of their three-point attempts, and the second time in Big East competition, too. The Golden Eagles have hit […]

On Monday, we got this short teaser video from Marquette men’s basketball, with a brief clip of Earl Tatum talking about MU uniforms of the past. On Tuesday, we got this full reveal video of the somewhat obvious tease from Monday of Marquette’s brand new player designed uniform set. And yes, in case you were […]

They can’t all be winners, I suppose? We might get some entertaining games this week, and maybe some thrilling endings, but at a glance, there’s not a metric ton of highlights in this week’s Big East basketball slate. Heck, as you scroll down, you’ll realize I highlighted a team that is 1-3 and a team […]

We’ve already made some preseason award and honors picks for Big East women’s lacrosse, so go check those out if you haven’t already.

Six days ago, Marquette women’s basketball lost their last game of 2025 maybe perhaps exclusively because they missed 14 layups in a seven point loss to St. John’s. They came up with an interesting preventative measure to that idea on Sunday afternoon at the McGuire Center against a Villanova team that came in at 5-0 […]

I started off Sunday afternoon’s Marquette men’s basketball game on the road against UConn waiting for the other shoe to drop. It looked like the first one fell as the Huskies popped off a 10-2 run in the middle-ish of the first half to go up 20-10, their first double digit lead of the game. […]

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 […]

Nothing major, no real changes, just a new addition. Now, in addition to the Four Factors and the usual shooting percentages […]
