Your home for coverage of Wisconsin's elite college athletics.
I hope you are stocked up on caffeine if you’re planning on going wire to wire with college basketball on national television today. There are 49 games on national TV today, and they will run from 10am Central (the women’s half of a Navy at Army doubleheader) til nearly midnight (Iowa State at BYU), so […]
Marquette’s first two games of the season were fine, mostly speaking. You don’t have to like that they went 0-2, even if it was against two ranked opponents, but the fact of the matter is that they made both Michigan and Notre Dame pull away from them in the second half. In ND’s case, it […]
Can I share a sentence from the official Northwestern preview of this game that I found whilst pulling up the streaming and live stats links for this game? The matchup has the makings of an elite attacking duel, as the Wildcats (3-1, 0-0 Big Ten) boast the nation’s No. 2 scoring offense (18 goals per […]
After Marquette’s loss to #17 St. John’s on Wednesday night, Ben Steele asked head men’s basketball coach Shaka Smart if there was an update on the condition of redshirt junior guard Sean Jones. Smart had last noted on National Marquette Day on February 7th that he was unsure as to whether or not Jones would […]
After St. John’s went up 22-13 about midway through the first half on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum, the remainder of the first 20 minutes struck a note of “well, Marquette’s not going away.” The Golden Eagles immediately answered the Johnnies 7-0 run with one of their own to knock the margin back down to […]

You guys can’t tell on your side of Anonymous Eagle, but we’re using WordPress over here on the editing side of things these days. One of the features available to me now? Switching the comment type from Standard to Q&A! So, that’s exactly what I’ve done in preparation for THE FIRST EVER ANONYMOUS EAGLE LIVE […]
We are entering CLINCHING TIME around the Big East this week, most notably because Geno Auriemma’s UConn Huskies have a chance to lock up the regular season conference championship on Wednesday. Each successive game around the league moves one thing or another close to locking into place for the conference tournament. That applies even more […]
There are 32 college basketball games on national television today, and it’s not just that 18 of them are women’s basketball games, it’s that most of the women’s games are absolute tippy top headliner games. IN ORDER, running down every ranked vs ranked or ranked on the road vs unranked women’s basketball game today: That’s […]
It was a great start for Marquette on Saturday at Cintas Center, as Adrien Stevens hit a three-pointer 18 seconds after the Golden Eagles won the opening tipoff. And that was the end of the good news for Marquette, as Xavier responded to that transgression on their home turf with a 28-7 run. Technically, it […]
Let’s be clear about this: Things could have gone a lot worse. Marquette men’s lacrosse didn’t even have possession of the ball until #7 Notre Dame went up 2-0 on their second shot of Saturday afternoon’s game, which means the the Fighting Irish scored on their first two shots of their season, and the second […]
I’m not trying to make this out to be some kind of moral victory for Marquette women’s basketball on Saturday at the McGuire Center. Yes, they are the first team in the last 15 games for #1 UConn to keep the margin inside 30 points, as the 71-56 final in Milwaukee, is just 15 points. […]
Right before the 16 minute mark of the first half in Cincinnati, TNT Sports sideline reporter Jared Greenberg unleashed perhaps the most important sideline report in the history of Marquette men’s basketball. For posterity’s sake: Marquette is the last high major men’s basketball program to resist going into the transfer portal, and now those days […]

FORTY-SIX NATIONALLY TELEVISED COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAMES? WITH BOTH MARQUETTE TEAMS PLAYING BACK-TO-BACK? What a time to be alive. 17 games on the board today have at least one ranked team involved. FIVE of those games are ranked on ranked games. One of them is one of the three women’s basketball games on national TV today, […]
I presume that Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black wasn’t particularly thrilled with her team’s 7-5 lead over Central Michigan at halftime of Friday’s game at Valley Fields. The Golden Eagles were outshooting the Chippewas 17-12 and had a shots on goal advantage of 11-5, but were only up by two goals. They also […]
Let’s ignore the scoreboard for a second. Well, okay, let’s just use the scoreboard as context, not totally ignore it, I guess. Midway through the second quarter against #20 Michigan last Saturday, Marquette men’s lacrosse was tied at four goals each with the Wolverines. Marquette had outshot Michigan 19-7 in the first quarter, and up […]

We’re keeping this preview simple. ITEM #1: Marquette women’s basketball has lost two straight games, both because of fourth quarter collapses. ITEM #2: Marquette hasn’t played a full 40 minutes front to back quality basketball game in over a month. ITEM #3: Connecticut is the last remaining undefeated team in the country and they have […]
After Marquette’s 70-58 loss to Seton Hall on Wednesday night, the press availability for head coach Cara Consuegra started off with a question about late game execution for the Golden Eagles over the past several games, particularly in the light of the Golden Eagles getting held to just three field goals in the final 16 […]
What do we know about the 2026 season already after two games for Marquette women’s lacrosse? We know that Marquette’s offense is going to mostly run through Tess Osburn and Hanna Bodner. That pairing is 1-2 in goals right now, and they’re 1-2 in shots right now, although it’s Bodner with the 11-9 edge at […]
Marquette women’s basketball led Seton Hall 23-17 at the end of the first quarter on Wednesday night at the McGuire Center. Marquette women’s basketball led Seton Hall 40-36 at halftime. A Skylar Forbes layup with 6:31 left in the third quarter gave Marquette a 49-42 lead over Seton Hall, their largest lead of the game. […]
How much grace do you want to extend to Marquette men’s basketball on a night when they had a chance to shoot for overtime on the road against a team that is the unofficial #30 team in the country in the AP poll? This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad season for […]
I’m so tired. Marquette women’s basketball hasn’t played a front-to-back solid 40 minutes of basketball since January 8th. They still had a five game winning streak in there, but that came to an end on Sunday as the Golden Eagles fumbled a 12 point lead on the first bucket of the fourth quarter and a […]
