Connecticut’s quarter-by-quarter goal totals from Saturday’s 12-10 win over Marquette women’s lacrosse: 3, 2, 5, 2 Connecticut’s quarter-by-quarter turnover totals from the game: 4, 4, 4, 5 I watched this game and I do not understand how Marquette lost. Time after time after time, UConn was putting the ball on the turf and Marquette was […]
In retrospect, the three overtime games in Big East play was probably a bad sign. On Friday night in the Rocky Mountains, Marquette men’s lacrosse couldn’t make a 2-0 lead (in the first minute!) or a 3-2 first quarter lead stand up, and they couldn’t find a way to a finish after a tie with […]
Turns out that I was both right and wrong last weekend? I went into Marquette’s Senior Day game against Butler thinking that the Golden Eagles could clinch a Big East tournament berth with a win and some help, but that was because I screwed up the tiebreaker math and who already had a win in […]
The Marquette women’s basketball roster continues to update for the 2026-27 season. We got two updates for the roster on Thursday, one that’s pretty straight forward, and one that I’m not 100% sure as to the details. Let’s start with the one that’s less of a mystery. MacKenzie Givens You might remember MacKenzie Givens from […]
I think Marquette women’s basketball head coach Cara Consuegra has a full staff once again. On Thursday, the team announced that Joe Silvestri joined the team as an assistant coach. Here’s Consuegra on her new employee: “Joe brings an elite level of energy and high basketball IQ to our program,” Consuegra said. “He has been […]
Win a regular season game against Denver in Colorado for the first time in program history, or watch the season end. That’s the list of options for Marquette men’s lacrosse on Friday night. A loss would drop the Golden Eagles to 2-3 in Big East play while raising Denver to 2-3. Obviously the Pioneers win […]
The regular season for women’s lacrosse wraps up this weekend with three Big East contests on Saturday and a stray Xavier/San Diego State game on Sunday. With that in mind, and the approach of the conference tournament semifinals on April 30th, we should probably make some postseason award picks, huh? Once we get past Sunday, […]
The final three games of the Big East men’s lacrosse will be played on Friday night across the country, so it’s probably a good time to make some postseason award picks, huh? That Big East conference tournament starts up on April 30th in Rhode Island, and you know the league office is going to fire […]
When word got out in mid-February that Marquette men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart was going to evolve his roster through the use of the transfer portal, there was one looming thought in my mind: When you open a door to bring something in, sometimes things you don’t want to leave manage to slip out. […]
It’s that time of the year: CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reports non-conference men’s basketball schedules. In this case, it’s Marquette and Missouri agreeing to play a neutral site game in Chicago at the United Center, and the game is reportedly being scheduled for Sunday, November 15th. This will be the second straight season with a […]
Marquette women’s basketball head coach Cara Consuegra is getting closer and closer to an actual useable roster for the 2026-27 college basketball season. That trendline continued on Tuesday when Consuegra and the Golden Eagles picked up a transfer commitment from Yu Han Lin. She is listed as a 5’9” guard by Middle Tennessee, which is […]
It was quiet, then it wasn’t with the commitment of Sananda Fru to join Marquette men’s basketball for the 2026-27 season. Apparently, once the dam broke, it was only a matter of time until Shaka Smart kept things moving in a positive direction, and so: St. Thomas transfer and Brookfield, Wisconsin resident Nolan Minessale will […]
Come September, the Big East will have a new commissioner for the first time since The Reformation. On Monday morning, the league announced that Commissioner Val Ackerman will retire from her position as of August 31, 2026. A national search by the Big East Board of Directors — which is just the presidents of the […]
Hi! The 2026 EDSBS Charity Bowl is officially underway! Are you unfamiliar with the EDSBS Charity Bowl? It is the yearly fundraiser organized by the fine folks over at Channel 6 and the Shutdown Fullcast. It supports New American Pathways, an organization which describes their mission as follows: New American Pathways is an Atlanta based nonprofit […]
I think we’re still seeing Tom Mendoza settle in as Marquette’s women’s volleyball head coach. Back last week, Marquette and Mendoza announced the hiring of Kennedy Fabian as an assistant coach on the volleyball staff. Fabian replaces Riley Whitesides on the staff, and I think that’s not entirely unsurprising. As you can see from the […]
I guess Marquette wasn’t really bothered by having two weeks off between games. On Saturday, Marquette women’s lacrosse wrapped up their home portion of the Big East schedule with a 20-6 win over Butler. Sure, it’s Butler, which is now 3-12 on the year and 0-5 in the Big East. Odds are Marquette was going […]
Marquette went to overtime for the third time in Big East play this season in Saturday’s home finale against Villanova. For the first time in three tries this season, Marquette did not find a way to win. In fact, it’s worse than that, because the Golden Eagles had more than their fair share of opportunities […]
With Kam Jones’ Indiana Pacers finishing the year at 19-63 and 24 games out of the Play-In Tournament and Olivier-Maxence Prosper’s Memphis Grizzlies finishing 12 games out at 25-57, it was bound to get a little bit shallow in terms of former Marquette guys to watch in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. In fact, as I […]
Y’know, I didn’t expect this one. When Megan Duffy left Marquette, obviously MU voided the letters of intent for the freshmen that Duffy had signed. Two of those signees followed Duffy to Virginia Tech. One of them is leaving after two years…. and Kayl Petersen has elected to end up at Marquette, just like she […]
Marquette women’s lacrosse can not clinch a Big East tournament berth on their own on Saturday. The Golden Eagles come into the weekend at 2-2 in the league. That has them tied for third place behind a tie for first between Denver and Georgetown at 4-0. However, because Marquette is tied with Villanova, the team […]
I think Marquette clinches a Big East tournament berth with a victory on Saturday. The Golden Eagles already can’t finish lower than fifth because even if they end up in a tie with St. John’s for last, MU has the tiebreaker with the Red Storm. Everything else is up in the air right now, but […]
The college basketball offseason inches along, and so does Cara Consuegra’s pursuit of assembling a roster that she can actually put on the floor for the 2026-27 season. We got a little bit of forward momentum in that regard on Thursday, as South Florida transfer Brooklyn Hall announced her commitment to Marquette. Hall signed to […]
It was a pretty accepted idea that Marquette women’s basketball clearly got better across the span of Cara Consuegra’s first season in charge in Milwaukee. Sure, there was a little bit of Zero Expectations that helped that out, but the math maths out pretty good here. Through the first nine games of the season, Consuegra […]
For the first time since Shaka Smart actually stepped onto the sideline to coach Marquette men’s basketball for the first time in a live game, the Golden Eagles have taken on a Division 1 transfer. On Tuesday, Louisville transfer Sananda Fru announced his commitment to play for Smart and the Golden Eagles in the 2026-27 […]
With the 2025-26 season long since in the books, let’s take a few moments to look back at the performance of each member of YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles this year. While we’re at it, we’ll also take a look back at our player previews and see how our preseason prognostications stack up with how things actually played […]
