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. […]

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 […]

You have to set some parameters as to how you want to think about Marquette women’s basketball’s 71-55 victory over Bowling Green on Friday night at the McGuire Center. Thinking about how Marquette went up 15-9 in the first 9:05 after losing by over 40 points to Minnesota? Pretty fun! Thinking about how Marquette ran […]

Name: University of Maryland, College Park Typo! Nope. It’s supposed to be a comma, not a hyphen like a normal state college system. Why? No idea, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to try and figure out punctuation decisions that were made over 100 years ago. Founded: 1856 Location: College Park, Maryland That’s not helpful. As is often the case […]

So here’s a fun fact that I learned from the seventh paragraph of the official Marquette preview for this weekend: The Golden Eagles have already clinched a spot in the four team Big East tournament next week. Three teams (Creighton, Xavier, Marquette) have qualified for the tournament, while Villanova and UConn battle for the fourth […]

It’s times like this where it would be fun to be a fly on the wall in the McGuire Center. If you’re Marquette head coach Cara Consuegra, it’s not difficult to rally your troops after a close loss. I don’t know what the process is for rallying them after a 43 point loss like they […]

Through the first 10 minutes and change against Little Rock at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night, you’d be hard pressed to figure out that Marquette men’s basketball was coming off a 23 point loss to Indiana on Sunday. You would have also been hard pressed to figure out that Marquette had relatively recently discovered that […]
