Going into the December 29th loss to St. John’s, Marquette was sitting at #56 in the NET. The loss knocked them to #66. Beating Villanova got Marquette back to #54. Losing to Seton Hall didn’t really affect anything in that regard, but losing to Georgetown in what BartTorvik.com’s Game Scores says is the worst performance […]

Kind of a quiet day on the ol’ college basketball front, at least in terms of national television. This is mostly because of the NFL Playoffs, as ESPN is broadcasting one of the games and so obviously that means that the network is occupied from 11am Central through 5:30pm. We can ask why Fox is […]

19-0. Georgetown went on a 19-0 run to start the game. Marquette women’s basketball missed their first nine shots of the game and didn’t get a field goal until 40 seconds left in the opening frame. Georgetown scored the final seven points of the second quarter to go up 23, 41-18, at halftime. After Marquette […]

It is WILD that there is 40 games of college basketball on national television tomorrow, and even wilder that there would be more if not for the fact that CBS is carrying an NFL playoff game at 3:30 Central and Fox has one at 7pm Central. I remember when it was impressive that we were […]

What if I told you that Marquette men’s basketball went down to Chicago on Friday night and threw their fifth best offensive game of the season at DePaul? You’d be pretty happy with that, I’d imagine, and that is what happened, according to KenPom.com’s offensive efficiency stats. Powered by 41% three-point shooting and just seven […]

Twice in the last five games, Marquette has let a massive opportunity go past them. First it was missing 14 layups at home in a 73-66 loss to St. John’s. Then it was immediately wasting a 20-5 lead on the road against Seton Hall by giving up a 17-0 run bridging the first and second […]

Seton Hall won one hell of a 22 minute basketball game on Wednesday night at Walsh Gym, surpassing Marquette 42-41, and it was only that close because Jordan Meulemans hit a three at the horn to drag the Golden Eagles within one. “But wait,” you say, “college basketball games are 40 minutes long, aren’t they?” […]

With FanDuel pitching the line at 13.5 on Tuesday morning when I was throwing together the Game Thread, and with KenPom.com estimating the margin at 17 points, I wasn’t holding out a lot of hope for a victory as Marquette headed to Madison Square Garden to face St. John’s that night. And then the official […]

On January 9th, ESPN’s Charlie Creme put out a new bracketology for women’s college basketball, one that we will not judge harshly because it is after the first of the year. He lists both Marquette and Seton Hall has Next Four Out there with the Golden Eagles one spot in front of the Pirates, and […]

As I type this on Monday morning, classes are back in session at Marquette for the spring semester, and so I presume that’s the case around the Big East. That’s a little guidepost on our way through the college basketball season, and so we continue to march towards the postseason week by week. As always, […]

Shouts to Andrei over at Paint Touches, as he very helpfully answered the call I put out at the top of the recap of Marquette’s 76-73 loss to Villanova. My biggest flaw as a basketball observer/recapper/blogger is that I stink at recognizing what is happening live. As such, when I saw Chase Ross badly miss […]

Let’s get it out of the way off the top: I think getting the ball to Chase Ross while he was 3-for-11 on the day and 2-for-6 from behind the arc against Villanova here in order to hit a three-pointer and tie the game and force overtime was a bad idea. I think going to […]
