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 […]

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.

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 […]

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’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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
