There was business to be handled against two of the lesser teams in the Big East this weekend at the McGuire Center, and business was very much handled indeed. On Friday, Marquette volleyball went out and got a 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-17) over St. John’s to eliminate the Red Storm from Big East tournament contention. […]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the net pop after Tucker DeVries hit another shot at the United Center. We could probably spend a whole hell of a long time dissecting exactly what went wrong for Marquette men’s basketball down in the Windy City on the first Sunday of the 2025-26 season, but here’s […]

The bad times started with 3:47 left in the first quarter on Saturday afternoon at the McGuire Center. Before that, Marquette had an 8-7 lead on Wisconsin, and that’s just good old fashioned healthy back and forth basketball. But at the 3:47 mark, that’s when Wisconsin kicked off a 10-0 to jump out to a […]

In the preview for Friday night’s 2025 season finale for Marquette men’s soccer, I noted that David Korn’s Golden Eagles had scored just five goals in Big East play this season. That’s the fewest goals they had scored in conference play since 2006 when MU scored just three times while posting an 0-11-0 record. It’s […]

We saw proof of concept from Cara Consuegra’s team in Game #1 of the 2025-26 season back on Monday morning. The Golden Eagles picked up an 89-57 victory over Winthrop because they put up 1.17 points per possession on the offensive end and held the visiting Eagles to just 0.75 points per possession on the […]

Four matches to go. This weekend’s opponents will not be helping Marquette’s RPI all that much, especially because they’re home contests. Things may be getting dicey for MU’s inclusion in the NCAA tournament, but they will absolutely get very bad if the Golden Eagles let either of these two matches slip away from them. To […]

If your snap reaction to Marquette men’s basketball turning a nine point halftime lead on Monday into a 27 point win was “ah, well, first game of the season, they tried some stuff for 20 minutes and then buckled up from there, that second half is more like what we’ll get on Wednesday,” well, I […]

And now, with the first Marquette men’s basketball game of the season in the books, let’s overreact to what we saw in the 40 minutes of action at Fiserv Forum against Albany. It’s Just One Game, BUT… Sean Jones can’t turn the ball over every five minutes for the rest of the season. We’re all […]

If you weren’t 100% on board with what was going on with Marquette men’s basketball through the first 20 minutes of the season, that’s fine. The Golden Eagles led 30-21 at the break while shooting an awful 32% from the field and an even worse 18% from behind the three-point line. 17 of their 31 […]

I think it’s probably safe to say that Monday morning’s Marquette women’s basketball season opener against the visiting Winthrop Eagles was over pretty early. Not when Marquette was up 4-0 in the first minute, no….. but up 12-2 just as the clock passed the five minute mark thanks to an 8-0 MU run?….. mmm, no, […]

Look, we don’t have to pretend that it’s good news that Marquette volleyball lost to #12 Creighton in a match that was exclusively televised on Nebraska Public Television on Saturday night. But there are two things about that match that stand out to me, at least they stood out as I kept an eye on […]

Marquette women’s basketball heads into 2025-26 as a unicorn amongst college basketball teams in the transfer portal/NIL era. Everyone returns from Cara Consuegra’s first season in charge. Everyone. All 12 women. No one dipped their toe into the transfer portal, and even the two seniors that were honored at the end of last year found […]

I’m going to use this space to work this out in my head, stick with me here. Four teams make the Big East tournament. Marquette has nine points with one match left. They can not catch Georgetown (27 points), Xavier (25), or UConn (23). That leaves one possible spot left, which is held by Creighton […]

Alrighty, Marquette men’s soccer got a Big East win last weekend. It’s their first since beating Butler 2-0 on Saturday, September 28, 2024. That’s a run of 0-9-2 that got broken up with the 4-1 victory over DePaul and the Golden Eagles scored a total of five goals in those 11 matches. That’s bad. Anyway, […]
