Name: Valparaiso University Location: Valparaiso, Indiana So they just stole their name from the city, huh? Yep, and if we’re being honest, the city didn’t come up with the name on their own anyway. The city was founded in 1836 as Portersville and it was the county seat for Porter County. The change came in […]

The Golden Eagles were the 14th team announced in the bracket, setting them up with a first round match against #7 seed Western Kentucky. That match […]

Got some bad news for you. Sunday morning is Marquette’s last chance to get a quality non-conference win this year….. and it looks like even if they get it, it won’t be their best win of the season anyway. After Sunday, Marquette has just two non-conference games left: Le Moyne and Truman State. Le Moyne […]

On Friday, Marquette women’s basketball squared off against #10 Iowa State down at Florida Gulf Coast’s arena in Fort Myers in the first game of the Coconut Hoops event. Between this game being exclusive to FloHoops, me letting my FloHoops subscription lapse when the Big East dropped Flo in favor of ESPN+, Marquette men’s basketball […]

On Friday, as per usual on game day, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles men’s basketball made a game day post on Instagram. The text/caption/whatever you want to call it: “Setting our edge.” Now, I don’t know precisely what message head coach Shaka Smart was trying to impart on his team with this message, or even if […]

Name: The University of Oklahoma Location: Norman, Oklahoma I’m bad at geography: For a long time, I thought Norman was somewhere out in the sticks of Oklahoma because it’s not Oklahoma City or Tulsa. Turns out, Norman is just a far south suburb of Oklahoma City. Ignore the direction aspect of it, but it’s kind […]

I don’t think this is a crucial “gotta win this to get to the NCAA tournament” game for Marquette. It would definitely be helpful in that regard, but it’s not crucial. Marquette will be back in action on Sunday for a second game in the Coconut Hoops event at Alico Arena, and I think it’s […]

Marquette’s chances at upsetting #12 Creighton and pulling the 4/1 seed upset in the 2025 Big East volleyball semifinals probably fell apart at one of two junctures on Saturday at the McGuire Center. The first is when a kill from Hattie Bray got Marquette within one, 16-15, in the first set. Creighton had been up […]

Central Michigan was leading YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles men’s basketball team, 18-17, with 13:16 left in the first half. They only led for 90 seconds in the entire game, and that would be the last time that the visiting Chippewas could look up at the Fiserv Forum scoreboard and see themselves out in front of […]

Name: Central Michigan University Location: Mount Pleasant, Michigan I’m bad at geography, where’s Mount Pleasant? It’s in central Michigan. Ha ha, very funny. I mean, it is pretty right there in the middle part of the Mitten section of Michigan. It’s in the northern half of the lower peninsula, if that helps. North of pretty much every city in Michigan that a […]

Between start times for the two basketball games landing just 30 minutes apart and one game being a part of my season ticket package and one going in the books as a road game, I wasn’t able to attend or even watch any of Marquette women’s basketball’s 75-43 victory over Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Seems […]

Shoot. The. Ball. Those of you out there who have been reading my Marquette blogs long enough know I’m not a “well, that one play is why you lost” guy. There’s somewhere between 60 and 80 possessions in a basketball game, one usually does not dictate why you lost a 40 minute college basketball game. […]
