Marquette Sweeps #7 Western Kentucky!
For the fourth consecutive season — and the first time under first year head coach Tom Mendoza! — Marquette volleyball has advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament! The Golden Eagles took advantage of a favorable draw from the tournament committee and picked up a 3-0 (25-22, 25-21, 25-16) sweep of #7 seed […]

Name: University of Wisconsin-Madison Location: Madison, Wisconsin Founded: 1848 Enrollment: 51,822 students for Fall 2025, with 37,198 undergraduates School Colors: Cardinal and white, officially, but no one is going to yell at you if you say red and white.

Goodness Gracious: Marquette 85, DePaul 54
FULL TRANSPARENCY: I’m starting work on this with 7:30 left in the game and Marquette up 72-40. Why start the recap before the game is over? Uh, mostly because it’s been over. 23-9 Marquette at the end of the first quarter, powered by the Golden Eagles getting a cut throat — their terminology for three […]

Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: at DePaul & vs Butler
I’ve made two choices with this preview. The first is that I am not going to do a Where Are We Now? post for Big East women’s basketball. The fact of the matter is that everyone in the league is somewhere between four and eight games played right now. That’s not exactly a lot of […]
Unconvincing Victory: Marquette 75, Valparaiso 72 (OT)
Back in 2007, Michael Bisping and Matt Hamill fought in the light heavyweight weight class at UFC 75. Both men were undefeated at the time, although Bisping was the more experienced fighter and had come out victorious in the same weight class in The Ultimate Fighter 3 in the summer of 2006. The fight went […]
GAME THREAD: Marquette vs Valparaiso
THE VITALS: Marquette Golden Eagles (4-4) vs Valparaiso Beacons (5-2) THE DATE: Tuesday, December 2, 2025 THE TIME: 7pm Central THE LOCATION: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin THE STAKES: Marquette is looking to avoid dropping under .500 after December 1st in a normal season for the first time since the last game of the 2014-15 season. […]
Get To Know A Marquette Basketball Opponent: Valparaiso
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 […]
Big East What To Watch: Week Five
Feast Week is over, we’ve got a full four weeks of basketball in the books, and as of Sunday afternoon, Big East league action has started with UConn women’s basketball tangling with Xavier. Plus, Monday is December 1st! If you think of the season as November/December/January/February and March is the postseason, we’re at the one-quarter […]
Marquette Volleyball Earns An At-Large Bid To The 2025 NCAA Tournament!
The drama over whether or not Marquette volleyball had done enough to earn an at-large bid to the 2025 NCAA tournament did not last very long on Sunday evening. 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 […]
MYSTERY BOX, PART TWO: Gonzaga 65, Marquette 61
Marquette and Gonzaga squared off in the consolation game of the Coconut Hoops event at Florida Gulf Coast’s Alico Arena on Sunday morning, and nope, did not go well for the Golden Eagles. Marquette ended up taking a 65-61 loss to the Bulldogs, leaving them at 0-2 in Florida this weekend and 4-3 on the […]
It’s Selection Sunday For Marquette Volleyball!
Marquette volleyball wrapped up their 27 match schedule over a week ago, and tonight, their restless wait to see if their season continues comes to an end. The Golden Eagles wrapped up their end of the first Big East tournament under the direction of head coach Tom Mendoza with a 3-0 sweep against #12 ranked […]
Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: vs Gonzaga
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 […]
MYSTERY BOX GAME: #10 Iowa State 84, Marquette 73
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 […]
The Edge Was Not Set: Oklahoma 75, Marquette 74
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 […]
GAME THREAD: Marquette vs Oklahoma
THE VITALS: Marquette Golden Eagles (3-3) vs Oklahoma Sooners (4-2) THE DATE: Friday, November 28, 2025 THE TIME: 1pm Central THE LOCATION: Credit Union 1 Arena, Chicago, Illinois aka “The home arena for the Illinois-Chicago Flames out of the Missouri Valley Conference.” THE TELEVISION: NBC, with (sigh) John Fanta, Nick Bahe, and Cayleigh Griffin on the […]
Get To Know A Marquette Basketball Opponent: Oklahoma
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 […]
Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: vs #10 Iowa State
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 […]
Big East What To Watch: Week Four
We got a taste of FEAST WEEK last week, and now it’s in FULL SWING! We’ve got Players Era, Maui, ESPN Events Invitational, Rady Children’s Invitational, and Emerald Coast Classic on the men’s basketball side, plus a couple of special one-off games. Over with women’s basketball, we’ve got Emerald Coast Classic, Turkey Tip-Off, Coconut Hoops, […]
#12 Creighton Sweeps Marquette In Big East Semifinals
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 […]
Bruh: Marquette 85, Central Michigan 71
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 […]
