You guys can’t tell on your side of Anonymous Eagle, but we’re using WordPress over here on the editing side of things these days. One of the features available to me now? Switching the comment type from Standard to Q&A! So, that’s exactly what I’ve done in preparation for THE FIRST EVER ANONYMOUS EAGLE LIVE […]
We are entering CLINCHING TIME around the Big East this week, most notably because Geno Auriemma’s UConn Huskies have a chance to lock up the regular season conference championship on Wednesday. Each successive game around the league moves one thing or another close to locking into place for the conference tournament. That applies even more […]
There are 32 college basketball games on national television today, and it’s not just that 18 of them are women’s basketball games, it’s that most of the women’s games are absolute tippy top headliner games. IN ORDER, running down every ranked vs ranked or ranked on the road vs unranked women’s basketball game today: That’s […]
It was a great start for Marquette on Saturday at Cintas Center, as Adrien Stevens hit a three-pointer 18 seconds after the Golden Eagles won the opening tipoff. And that was the end of the good news for Marquette, as Xavier responded to that transgression on their home turf with a 28-7 run. Technically, it […]
Let’s be clear about this: Things could have gone a lot worse. Marquette men’s lacrosse didn’t even have possession of the ball until #7 Notre Dame went up 2-0 on their second shot of Saturday afternoon’s game, which means the the Fighting Irish scored on their first two shots of their season, and the second […]
I’m not trying to make this out to be some kind of moral victory for Marquette women’s basketball on Saturday at the McGuire Center. Yes, they are the first team in the last 15 games for #1 UConn to keep the margin inside 30 points, as the 71-56 final in Milwaukee, is just 15 points. […]
Right before the 16 minute mark of the first half in Cincinnati, TNT Sports sideline reporter Jared Greenberg unleashed perhaps the most important sideline report in the history of Marquette men’s basketball. For posterity’s sake: Marquette is the last high major men’s basketball program to resist going into the transfer portal, and now those days […]

FORTY-SIX NATIONALLY TELEVISED COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAMES? WITH BOTH MARQUETTE TEAMS PLAYING BACK-TO-BACK? What a time to be alive. 17 games on the board today have at least one ranked team involved. FIVE of those games are ranked on ranked games. One of them is one of the three women’s basketball games on national TV today, […]
I presume that Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black wasn’t particularly thrilled with her team’s 7-5 lead over Central Michigan at halftime of Friday’s game at Valley Fields. The Golden Eagles were outshooting the Chippewas 17-12 and had a shots on goal advantage of 11-5, but were only up by two goals. They also […]
Let’s ignore the scoreboard for a second. Well, okay, let’s just use the scoreboard as context, not totally ignore it, I guess. Midway through the second quarter against #20 Michigan last Saturday, Marquette men’s lacrosse was tied at four goals each with the Wolverines. Marquette had outshot Michigan 19-7 in the first quarter, and up […]

We’re keeping this preview simple. ITEM #1: Marquette women’s basketball has lost two straight games, both because of fourth quarter collapses. ITEM #2: Marquette hasn’t played a full 40 minutes front to back quality basketball game in over a month. ITEM #3: Connecticut is the last remaining undefeated team in the country and they have […]
After Marquette’s 70-58 loss to Seton Hall on Wednesday night, the press availability for head coach Cara Consuegra started off with a question about late game execution for the Golden Eagles over the past several games, particularly in the light of the Golden Eagles getting held to just three field goals in the final 16 […]
What do we know about the 2026 season already after two games for Marquette women’s lacrosse? We know that Marquette’s offense is going to mostly run through Tess Osburn and Hanna Bodner. That pairing is 1-2 in goals right now, and they’re 1-2 in shots right now, although it’s Bodner with the 11-9 edge at […]
Marquette women’s basketball led Seton Hall 23-17 at the end of the first quarter on Wednesday night at the McGuire Center. Marquette women’s basketball led Seton Hall 40-36 at halftime. A Skylar Forbes layup with 6:31 left in the third quarter gave Marquette a 49-42 lead over Seton Hall, their largest lead of the game. […]
How much grace do you want to extend to Marquette men’s basketball on a night when they had a chance to shoot for overtime on the road against a team that is the unofficial #30 team in the country in the AP poll? This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad season for […]
I’m so tired. Marquette women’s basketball hasn’t played a front-to-back solid 40 minutes of basketball since January 8th. They still had a five game winning streak in there, but that came to an end on Sunday as the Golden Eagles fumbled a 12 point lead on the first bucket of the fourth quarter and a […]

I appreciate everyone in the Big East doing everything possible to just make at least short-term storylines happen for the What To Watch every week. Sometimes I sit down to put this together and say “oh, man, how am I going to invent highlights for the week,” and then it turns out that I don’t […]
Okay, let’s get everyone caught up to speed so we all understand how we got here. Back on the recap for the road win against Georgetown on February 1st, regular reader and commenter marquettefan13 noted that Marquette women’s basketball had been short an assistant coach “for at least the last two games” and fellow regular […]
We’ve talked over and over and over about Marquette women’s basketball having massive lapses over the past month or so. As of late, the lapses haven’t officially cost the Golden Eagles anything, although things came very close against DePaul back on January 28th. Sometimes the lapses didn’t even look like it was really a problem […]
It took a minute — okay, it took 17 of them — but Marquette women’s lacrosse finally got things in gear against Cincinnati on Sunday on their way to a 17-10 victory over the Bearcats. Marquette is now 2-0 on the year and they have won five straight against Cincinnati and all seven of the […]
