Marquette Lets #23 Georgetown Slip Away
For three quarters on Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields, Marquette women’s lacrosse was in a duel with #23 Georgetown. In fact, if you wanted to, you could argue that if the Golden Eagles didn’t have the nationally ranked Hoyas on the ropes when they held them without a goal for the middle 17 minutes of […]
Your 2026 NCAA Tournament Viewing Guide: March 22
Are you prepared to see 16 teams punch their tickets to the Sweet 16 today?? With the women’s basketball tournament wrapping up the Round of 64 on Saturday, that gives us eight Round of 32 games for both the women and the men today. Even better: The women’s tournament is starting a new game on […]
Your 2026 NCAA Basketball Tournament Viewing Guide: March 21, 2026
Welcome to Saturday of the first weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament! I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that because this is the Round of 32 for the men’s basketball tournament, there is only one game on at a time between 11am and 5:10pm when TNT gets Houston/Texas […]

Unpopular Opinion: Shaka Smart Did A Heck of A Job Coaching Marquette In 2026
You might remember that back in mid-December, I penned an article on this website titled “Is Marquette Getting Worse?” That was published in the wake of Marquette men’s basketball losing 96-76 to Wisconsin on December 6th and just one day before the Golden Eagles took a 79-59 loss on the road against Purdue. The ultimate […]
Marquette Men’s Lacrosse Preview: at Bellarmine
It’s been a minute since we’ve had a Marquette men’s lacrosse game on the board to talk about since the Golden Eagles last played a mid-week game against Utah and then took last weekend off. There’s been so much going on that I actually had to say “hey, what exactly happened in that Utah game?” […]
Your NCAA Tournament Viewing Guide/Open Thread: March 20, 2026
THIRTY-TWO NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT GAMES TODAY! It’s the second day of the first round in the men’s tournament as we finish up cutting the field down to 32 teams. The women’s tournament wrapped up the First Four last night, so it’s their first day in the Round of 64. What does that mean for you, […]
2026 Big East Women’s Lacrosse: Where Are We Now?
The Big East opener is coming up this weekend for Marquette women’s lacrosse, and with that in mind, we should probably see what everyone has been up to since the start of February, huh? Before we get a look at the league, let’s stop off and fit in the specific details of Saturday’s conference opener. […]
Your NCAA Basketball Tournament Viewing Guide: March 19, 2026
IT’S THE MOOOOOOOOOOOST WONDERFUL TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME OF THE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR Hell yeah, we made it back to the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament! Only the men’s basketball tournament is in full swing today with 16 games, the women’s tournament doesn’t hit their first round full stride until tomorrow. That still gives us the 16 men’s games […]
Your NCAA Tournament First Four Viewing Guide/Open Thread
The 2026 NCAA men’s basketball tournament officially opened up on Tuesday night, and we did a Feed post to note the schedule for that pair of games in the First Four in Dayton. Today, however, we have four NCAA tournament games to track! There’s the other two men’s First Four games in Dayton as well […]

The 2025-26 Marquette Women’s Basketball Season Ends Quietly
On Sunday, March 1st, Marquette women’s basketball ended the regular season with a 69-65 road win over Providence. On Saturday, March 7th, Marquette women’s basketball ended their run in the Big East tournament after just one game, falling 57-44 to Creighton in the quarterfinals. On Sunday, March 15th, Marquette women’s basketball had their season ended […]
Your Selection Sunday Viewing Guide: March 15, 2026
Tonight, we find out the 68 teams in the 2026 NCAA Basketball Tournaments. But before we get there, there are nine more conference championship games starting at 11am Central with the Ivy League for the men and both the Patriot League and the NEC for the women. The schedule below is as accurate as I […]
All It Takes Is One More: Marquette 6, Niagara 5
Believe it or not, Marquette women’s lacrosse did not set a team record for fewest goals scored in a win on Saturday. That honor is probably permanently locked into a 5-4 overtime victory on the road against UC Davis back in 2015. However, Marquette did score just six goals — a season low — and […]
Your College Basketball Championship Saturday Viewing Guide: March 14, 2026
The Good News: There’s 27 nationally televised college basketball games on today. The Better News: 17 of the 27 are tournament championship games, meaning that there is an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament on the line. The Slightly Less Great News: I’m putting this together on Friday afternoon so it can publish very early […]
It Would Seem That Marquette’s Core Is Set To Return
Jack Albright from the Marquette Wire was at Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament, and that meant he got a chance to talk to freshman guard Adrien Stevens after Marquette men’s basketball lost to Xavier in the first round to end the Golden Eagles’ season. It’s reasonable to wonder what the future holds […]
Marquette Women’s Lacrosse Preview: vs Niagara
I wonder how Marquette women’s lacrosse spent the day on Tuesday. They were supposed to host Detroit Mercy for a mid-day start in the middle of spring break on campus, but the Titans ended up being forced to withdraw from the game because of a lack of available healthy players after a 20-3 loss to […]
The Anonymous Eagle 2026 BRACKET CHAT Live Q&A!
Back in mid-February, I had some free time on the calendar and I did a LIVE Q&A on the site. It went really well, as I spent pretty much an entire morning answering questions from YOU, the handsome and intelligent Anonymous Eagle readers. SO WE’RE BRINGING IT BACK! On MONDAY, MARCH 16, 2026, I will […]
You Won’t See Shaka Smart’s Name On Next Year’s Hot Seat Lists…… But You Should
The 2025-26 Marquette men’s basketball season is in the rear view mirror after Wednesday night’s 89-87 loss to Xavier in the first round of the Big East tournament, and so our eyes turn to the future for head coach Shaka Smart and the program that he guides. It’s going to be a very interesting offseason, […]
An Empty Middle: RV Utah 16, Marquette 7
I have a theory. I’ve only been watching lacrosse seriously since 2013, so I’m still working out ideas of how all of this works. Forgive me if I’m stepping over some lines of unwritten rules or something. This is my theory: I think it’s hard to win a lacrosse game when you go nearly 32 […]
Exit, Stage Right: Xavier 89, Marquette 87
As Xavier developed their first half advantage out to 29-19 with just under 10 minutes left in the first half at Madison Square Garden I thought to myself, “ah, yes, the pattern of what happened in the first half of the visit to Xavier in the regular season is repeating itself, just a little bit […]
Nigel James Named Big East Freshman of the Year!
The Big East announced the last of the 2025-26 men’s basketball awards on Wednesday afternoon in advance of the start of the conference tournament, and we got a bit of good or at the very least somewhat unexpected news out of New York. Marquette guard Nigel James has been named Big East Freshman of the […]
