I wonder if Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black would say that she saw the most complete performance of the season from her team on Saturday against #24 Villanova. Six of Marquette’s last eight games have been a wee bit shaky one way or another, and if you want to count a 15-9 loss […]
The possibility that Marquette men’s lacrosse would feed off their 6-1 rally to beat Providence in overtime last week and plow straight through a 2-8 St. John’s team that was coming off a 21-7 loss to Villanova ended a little bit past the midway point of the first quarter at Belson Stadium in Queens. We […]
Things continue to shift and change in the Marquette women’s basketball office as this offseason gets underway. We’ve already discussed a pair of player transfers that are already out in the public, and now we turn our attention to a change in head coach Cara Consuegra’s staff. On Friday morning, MU assistant coach Chaia Meier […]
Marquette women’s lacrosse is catching a bit of a bad break this season. With Denver as an ongoing nationally relevant program and both Butler and Xavier trying to figure themselves out in various stages of development as a Division 1 program, that leaves the Golden Eagles with three games every season that decide whether or […]
Yes, it’s early to say this, but Saturday is a must-win game for Marquette men’s lacrosse if they want to be in the Big East tournament. We can count, y’know? Four teams make the Big East tournament. Georgetown is ranked #11 in this week’s Inside Lacrosse top 20 media poll. As we talked about last […]
If you’re a long time reader of this here internet website, then you’re probably familiar with the Scholarship Chart. It has appeared towards the bottom of every Marquette Golden Eagles men’s and women’s basketball recruiting article for a good long time now. At some point in the past, I realized it was helpful to have a visual […]
Sometimes you have to look at a result in context. For example, when Marquette women’s lacrosse is 0-10 all time against Denver, and the Pioneers have won the last two meetings by 13 and 14 goals, AND the Pioneers are ranked for the 2026 encounter, AND Marquette was going through a struggle on one of […]
Since Marquette men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart used TNT Sports to announce that he will be evolving the Golden Eagles roster for the 2026-27 season, it was reasonable to wonder precisely that would mean for most of the 2025-26 roster. We’ve already nailed down that Nigel James, the 2026 Big East Freshman of the […]
It was reported by Jon Rothstein in the morning on Wednesday and then made official in the afternoon: Marquette men’s basketball assistant coach Nevada Smith will be leaving Milwaukee and heading to upstate New York as the new head coach for Siena. Here’s the press release: “My family and I could not be more excited […]

Officially, the transfer portal for men’s basketball doesn’t open up until the day after the national championship game. However, that doesn’t stop anyone from making an announcement or a declaration that they will be in the portal once it opens. It makes sense: Get the word out that you’re available, and no sense waiting until […]
I want to say that this mid-week Big East game doesn’t matter all that much to Marquette women’s lacrosse. It’s against a ranked opponent, it’s on the road, it’s against the preseason favorite in the league, it’s against the conference rival that Marquette has never beaten…. there’s a lot going on here that can all […]
Cara Consuegra’s 2026-27 roster is changing again. We already saw that Charia Smith will be departing the program with one year of eligibility remaining, and now we have another player doing the same. On Monday, Aryelle Stevens published a post on Instagram to announce that she will be departing Marquette with her degree in hand. […]
In the preview for Saturday’s Marquette/Xavier women’s lacrosse game, I pointed out 1) that Marquette has been having some trouble maintaining offensive consistency as games have gotten into high leverage moments and 2) Xavier’s defense has been pretty stingy this season. Both of those things seem to have played a part in Saturday’s 10-7 Marquette […]
YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles men’s lacrosse team is 1-0 in Big East play, and as somewhat accordant with team tradition, they did it in the most dramatic way possible. We could get lost in the details of Providence going up 4-1 in the first eight minutes, or Marquette cutting the lead back to just one […]
On Friday morning, the Marquette athletic department put out a very standard issue boilerplate press release announcing that the university has re-upped with Nike and Jordan Brand for all the uniforming and clothing needs for the Golden Eagles. Marquette Athletics announced on Friday morning the renewal of its partnership with Jordan Brand, Nike, Inc. and […]
We’re into the home stretch of the 2026 Marquette men’s lacrosse season as the only thing left to do is knock out the five games of Big East play starting on Saturday. In fact, let’s get the details on that game out of the way. Big East Game #1: at Providence Friars (4-6, 0-0 Big […]
There’s a trend emerging for Marquette women’s lacrosse, or maybe a couple of trends, and the biggest question facing the Golden Eagles and head coach Meredith Black going into this weekend may be which one is more important in terms of finding a solution. The reason why it’s a couple of trends is because we […]
As we inch closer towards putting together our Player Reviews (I wait until the NCAA tournament is over for the most accurate stat rankings!), there’s still some unpacking of what happened in the 2025-26 Marquette men’s basketball season. In today’s case, we’re going to look at some things that we thought were pretty established ideas […]
We got some big Marquette volleyball schedule news on Monday afternoon as the AVCA announced an addition to their 2026 First Serve event. In the process of adding a fourth day to the First Serve event that was already set for Fiserv Forum, the AVCA announced that there will be two Big East-themed matches in […]
It seemed like things were pretty solid on Nigel James, Adrien Stevens, and Royce Parham returning to Marquette men’s basketball for the 2026-27 season coming out of the Big East tournament. James made it very directly clear about his position on the topic after being named Big East Freshman of the Year, while Adrien Stevens […]
For the first time all season — there have only been four previous home games, part of this is not my fault — I was actually available to make my way down to Valley Fields to see Marquette women’s lacrosse in action on Monday afternoon. Out of the gate, this seemed like a great choice […]
ONE MORE DAY OF BASKETBALL! Because of the one day offset of the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, we get EIGHT MORE GAMES with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the docket for the day, all in the women’s NCAA tournament. ESPN varies things from the way they ran them on Sunday, as we […]
The 2025-26 Marquette women’s basketball season came to an end on Selection Sunday when the Golden Eagles were not included in the WBIT or the WNIT fields. That means MU’s last game of the year was actually back on March 7, when they lost 57-44 to Creighton in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. […]
The question is whether Marquette will grow from their narrow loss to #23 Georgetown or allow letting that game slip away from them carry over emotionally into this game, just two days later, much less the rest of their season. At this point of the year, sitting at 5-4 through nine games and 0-1 in […]
