I think the quickest and easiest way to recap this game is to point out the expansion and contraction of Butler’s lead over Marquette, seeing as the Golden Eagles only ever led 2-0 on Friday night at Hinkle Fieldhouse. And so, after a 13-2 run in the first five minutes, Butler led 13-4. Marquette tied […]

The IWLCA released the preseason top 25 poll for the 2026 women’s lacrosse season on Monday, and when paired with the Big East preseason poll on Wednesday, there’s no surprise that Marquette is nowhere in sight. It’s hard to be in the national top 25 when you’re #5 in your own conference…. although it seems […]

In the past, when writing a recap, I’ve talked about the difficulty of trying to determine what part of a game that went to overtime was actually important to discuss. From a certain point of view, nothing about the game in regulation matters because the contest was decided in the overtime session because the two […]

Going into the December 29th loss to St. John’s, Marquette was sitting at #56 in the NET. The loss knocked them to #66. Beating Villanova got Marquette back to #54. Losing to Seton Hall didn’t really affect anything in that regard, but losing to Georgetown in what BartTorvik.com’s Game Scores says is the worst performance […]

Kind of a quiet day on the ol’ college basketball front, at least in terms of national television. This is mostly because of the NFL Playoffs, as ESPN is broadcasting one of the games and so obviously that means that the network is occupied from 11am Central through 5:30pm. We can ask why Fox is […]

19-0. Georgetown went on a 19-0 run to start the game. Marquette women’s basketball missed their first nine shots of the game and didn’t get a field goal until 40 seconds left in the opening frame. Georgetown scored the final seven points of the second quarter to go up 23, 41-18, at halftime. After Marquette […]

It is WILD that there is 40 games of college basketball on national television tomorrow, and even wilder that there would be more if not for the fact that CBS is carrying an NFL playoff game at 3:30 Central and Fox has one at 7pm Central. I remember when it was impressive that we were […]

Twice in the last five games, Marquette has let a massive opportunity go past them. First it was missing 14 layups at home in a 73-66 loss to St. John’s. Then it was immediately wasting a 20-5 lead on the road against Seton Hall by giving up a 17-0 run bridging the first and second […]

Seton Hall won one hell of a 22 minute basketball game on Wednesday night at Walsh Gym, surpassing Marquette 42-41, and it was only that close because Jordan Meulemans hit a three at the horn to drag the Golden Eagles within one. “But wait,” you say, “college basketball games are 40 minutes long, aren’t they?” […]

With FanDuel pitching the line at 13.5 on Tuesday morning when I was throwing together the Game Thread, and with KenPom.com estimating the margin at 17 points, I wasn’t holding out a lot of hope for a victory as Marquette headed to Madison Square Garden to face St. John’s that night. And then the official […]
