DID YOU KNOW? Marquette women’s basketball is already THREE games into Big East play? It’s true! The Golden Eagles started off Big East action by shoving DePaul and Butler into a trash can back in early December, and then followed that up by getting shoved into a trash can by #1 UConn last week to […]

It’s time for a SUNDAY NIGHT EDITION of What To Watch because we’ve got a pair of very early Monday games, one for men’s basketball, and one for women’s basketball in the Big East. On top of that, the men’s calendar for the week wraps up on Tuesday anyway, so the earlier the better when […]

On Saturday morning, I had some free time, and I said to myself, hey, let’s put together a preview publishing schedule for Marquette lacrosse. It’s been a minute since Meredith Black announced her team’s 2026 slate, so I can at least start putting together a framework for timing even though there’s been no press release […]

Okay, the Marquette men’s basketball game against Creighton is now under 10 minutes to go, so it actually makes sense to start writing this recap. I waited til now because, in theory, there was an awful lot of basketball left to be played, so it was mathematically possible that something different would start happening. Nope, […]

With just a touch less than three hours to go before tipoff in Omaha on Saturday night, Marquette men’s basketball announced that junior guard Zaide Lowery did not travel with the team for personal reasons. As a result of not being in Nebraska, he is obviously out for the game against Creighton. Okay, let’s take […]

There was a lot going on in the first two minutes of Marquette’s victory over Truman State on Saturday afternoon. It started with Kennedi Perkins starting in place of Jaidynn Mason, which includes Mason not even being present on the bench for the game with an illness. It continued with Perkins going down with a […]

There’s just 16 nationally televised college basketball games today. That’s not the total number of games, there’s 65 men’s games across the country and 85 women’s games. Most of it’s on a streaming platform, that’s all. That includes both of Marquette’s teams, by the way. In fact, were it not for a big pile of […]

I have a mission for Cara Consuegra’s team. It’s a pretty simple one. Beat Truman State by more points than the margin of Wednesday’s 89-53 loss to UConn. All due respect to the Bulldogs, but they are a sub-.500 Division 2 team. A Division 1 team with their eyes on an NCAA tournament bid should […]

Back on Wednesday morning, Eric “Balky” Balkman asked me a Big East projections reset question during my weekly appearance on The Show on The Score. In the preseason, I said that I thought that Marquette was a better team than the one that the Big East coaches picked to finish fifth. His question was 1) […]

With 4:56 left in the first half, Ben Gold scored on a layup to put YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles up 29-20 on Georgetown on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum. and yet somehow Georgetown led, 37-33, at the half, thanks to a Langston Love three-pointer with three seconds left before the horn. You are currently thinking: […]

I mean this seriously: Keeping UConn under 100 points should be seen as an accomplishment. The average score of the Huskies’ first two Big East games this season: 103-37. If Marquette gets to 40 points and keeps UConn under 100, that’s the toughest test they’ve gotten in Big East play so far. Sure, Xavier and […]

You may remember this post on this here internet website from back on November 20th. Ah, yes, the golden days when Marquette was merely 3-3 instead of 5-6. In any case, the point of that article was that Caedin Hamilton was not paying dividends as a starter on the Marquette men’s basketball team and perhaps […]

I think it’s more than a little bit funny that we get a nice quiet Monday on the schedule immediately after Finals Week, or at least Finals Week at Marquette. I get that, mathematically, it makes sense because there were a lot of Saturday and Sunday games, but it’s still a bit funny that now […]

DID YOU KNOW? Big East play starts for Marquette men’s basketball WEDNESDAY NIGHT. It’s true! They get things going with a home game against Georgetown on December 17th. We’ll get to a full game preview of that later on down the road, but with league play right in front of us AND Providence/Butler starting off conference […]

What was your favorite part of Marquette picking up an 89-42 win over Le Moyne in women’s basketball on Sunday? Was it the 47 point final margin? Was it Marquette winning the game 79-41 after the 10-1 start for the Golden Eagles? Was it Marquette outscoring Le Moyne 21-2 in the fourth quarter even though […]

I said it along the way as we learned that Isabela Haggard, Mari King, and Natalie Ring would be transfering out of Marquette following the 2025 season: Head volleyball coach Tom Mendoza is going to get a chance to go to work in the transfer portal. On Saturday, we got the first evidence of his […]

As I type this sentence, the horn just sounded for the end of Marquette’s 79-59 loss to #6 Purdue. That doesn’t come close to explaining what happened in this game, as the Boilermakers were up 77-47 with less than four minutes left. The Golden Eagles threw a 12-0 run at Matt Painter’s team after the […]

For now, Marquette women’s basketball is 6-3 on the year but more importantly 2-0 in the Big East. They are one of just two 2-0 teams in the league with only three more standing at 1-0. That is going to change rapidly come Wednesday when the Golden Eagles hit the road to visit the other […]

Not so much with the college football to put on television, so there are 34 nationally televised college basketball games to be watched! There’s 31 men’s games and three women’s games, and two of […]

Name: Purdue University Location: West Lafayette, Indiana (which apparently is the most densely populated city in the state), conveniently located across the Wabash River from Lafayette, Indiana. Founded: 1869 Enrollment: 57,310 as of Fall 2025, with 43,067 undergraduates. FUN FACT: Purdue’s student body is 59% male this year, which I presume as a lot to do with the STEM […]
