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 […]

The Big East announced the end of season awards for women’s volleyball on Friday morning, and even with a fourth place finish in the league this season, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles are well represented in the conference’s honors.

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 […]

On Wednesday night, Marquette men’s basketball dropped to 3-3 on the season and 3-3 against KenPom.com top 160 opponents with a 77-71 loss to Dayton in overtime. It was the sixth straight start of the season for redshirt sophomore big man Caedin Hamilton. Since he has played at least 15 minutes in every game, Hamilton […]

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. […]

Name: University of Dayton Location: Dayton, Ohio I’m bad at Ohio geography: Well, a big reason why Dayton’s not in the Big East right now is because no one likes them because Xavier is about 50 miles to the south in southwestern Ohio. Maybe that makes Dayton a little bit in western central Ohio? Founded: Well, Dayton says they were founded […]

It feels like it’s been longer than just last Friday night since Marquette women’s basketball played a game. Maybe that’s because Marquette did not look so hot for a good chunk of that 71-55 victory over Bowling Green. Maybe if Marquette hadn’t looked like they were trying to hand the game to the Falcons for […]

“The Surprise is not old; no one would call her old. She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She’s a fine seabird: weatherly, stiff and fast… very fast, if she’s well handled. No, she’s not old; she’s in her prime.”— Captain Jack Aubrey, “Master & Commander: The Far Side Of The World” Walk with me […]

Are you ready for Feast Week? You’d better be, because we are soft-launching Feast Week on Friday! There’s two men’s teams in a special multi-team event starting that day, and there’s a women’s basketball team that is at an event that’s not exactly much of a trip for them getting started on Friday as well.

I’m not really sure precisely why the Big East waited until the final matches of the 2025 volleyball season were played before announcing the bracketing for the conference tournament. None of the Sunday matches had any impact on the seeding as Creighton had locked up the outright title with a win on Saturday, and Villanova […]

Marquette volleyball went into the last weekend of the regular season knowing that they needed help to end up as the #3 seed in the Big East tournament. They didn’t get that help, but that didn’t slow the Golden Eagles down from stacking two more wins in their final two contests. On Saturday, Marquette ripped […]

One of the core tenets of what head coach Shaka Smart is doing with his Marquette men’s basketball teams is getting 32 deflections in a game. Another core tenet is getting eight kills — coming up with a defensive stop three times in a row on eight different occasions — in a game. Marquette finished […]

Back on Wednesday, Marquette women’s basketball announced the signing of their committed players for the Class of 2026. Of course, that means that head coach Cara Consuegra announced the signing of Se’Crette Carter, and that’s it. Let’s do the basic breakdowns here before we get to a larger conversation about this. First, the press release […]
