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, […]

#1 — What is the one thing Cara Consuegra most needs to tweak for this season? Cara Consuegra’s first season in charge at Marquette was pretty successful. Not NCAA tournament successful, but for a Year 1 with very little continuity, it was pretty successful. For Year 2, Consuegra brings back everyone from last year’s roster. […]

I spelled it out in the preview for this week’s two matches for Marquette volleyball. Beat DePaul and snap a two game skid, the first in Big East regular season play since 2011. Lose to DePaul, hit the longest regular season conference losing streak since 2009 and prrrrrrobably since 2008 since a weekend match with […]

Four teams make the Big East tournament. At 6-4 in the league right now, Marquette is currently tied for fourth. Marquette is tied for fourth with Georgetown, a team that beat MU for the first time since 2010 this past weekend. That is the only match this season between those two, and so the Hoyas […]

Hey! Do you remember last year’s weekly bit where I hopped on the radio with The Show with on AM 1570/95.3 FM/99.1 FM The Score in the Appleton/Oshkosh area to talk about Marquette men’s basketball every Wednesday? We’re doing it again this season, and the first show is TOMORROW MORNING, Wednesday, October 29th, at 11am Central! I’ll be […]

Cara Consuegra has an interesting thing happening with her 2025-26 Marquette women’s basketball team: She brings everyone back from her first season in charge. Not her entire rotation, not everyone except her seniors. Everyone, all 12 women, back for one more go-around. On top of that, for today’s conversation, she also brings in a transfer […]

November 5th and November 6th, 2011. Marquette volleyball, less than one month away from the program’s first ever NCAA tournament appearance, went on a weekend road trip and lost 3-1 at Cincinnati and 3-0 at Louisville on consecutive days, snapping a four match winning streak. That was the last time Marquette volleyball lost back-to-back regular […]

In case you missed it, Marquette men’s soccer lost 1-0 to Providence last Friday night. I presume you missed watching the match because Providence tucked the broadcast behind their in-house paywall instead of putting the match up on ESPN+ like a normal athletic department, but also perhaps you missed the result, or even the result […]

Hey, do you remember the very nice Player Preview that we published for Marquette men’s basketball freshman Ian Miletic back on October 1st? Yeah, well, you can ignore it now. On Thursday evening, Marquette hosted an open practice at Fiserv Forum. Doubly beneficial, as it gives fans a chance to see the team and gives […]

As we’ve already talked about in the 2025-26 Marquette men’s basketball season preview series, there’s a lot of questions facing the Golden Eagles heading into the year. It’s reasonable to say that there’s more questions facing Marquette than any other season that head coach Shaka Smart has been in charge of so far, and yeah, I’m […]

I think it’s weirdly appropriate that the midway point of the 18 game Big East schedule right as Marquette is on the road trip against the two teams that they will only see one time this season. Friday against Georgetown is Match #9 as Marquette is already 6-2 in Big East play, and then they […]
