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 […]

For a moment there on Saturday at Fiserv Forum, things were on the verge of perhaps the nadir of the 2025-26 Marquette men’s basketball season. After a 7-0 burst put Marquette up 14-6 as the clock wound under the 13 mark of the first half, the Golden Eagles started to let the thing drift on […]

I think it is very cool and fun that the powers that be at the national television networks have agreed to celebrate National Marquette Day by putting FORTY-SEVEN college basketball games on nationwide broadcast today. What’s that? It’s probably more because they’re shortening up Sunday’s broadcast schedule because of the Super Bowl? Okay, you probably […]

I don’t know how much of a choice that head coach Jake Richard had regarding his schedule to start the 2026 season, but I don’t particularly think it’s going to start great for Marquette. The fact of the matter is that there’s just a little bit too much of a question status for roles on […]

#1 — How does head coach Jake Richard guide his team through what is clearly going to be a mentally and/or emotionally difficult season? Back in September, Marquette men’s lacrosse lost Scott Michaud and Noah Snyder as both young men were killed in a traffic accident near campus. Two more players — they’ve never been […]

#1 — Is there another record setting offensive season coming from someone on this roster?

Let’s put some numbers on the sense of things in the air since Marquette women’s basketball has looked sketchy at best over the last five games.
