2023-24 Non-Con Schedule

[PointWarrior]

For a Summit League team that just started playing D-1 basketball a couple of years ago, I have noticed that the Tommie fans are quite confident about their ascension from D-3 to D-1.

Hope this is a Fiserv game and not a McGuire Center game. I'd like to see in person what they've got.

St Thomas aspires to replace Dayton's place scoopers views...

UW-Milwaukee basketball is not scary. They are just tiresome. Over the last number of years their fan base ( as it were) has turned them, not into an attractive Marquette opponent, but into a pain in the ass. Once in approximately 40 games they have come within shouting distance of beating MU, and they honestly feel that entitles them to dictate terms to MU should the "series" be resumed. Bullchit.

The basketball community in Wisconsin is demanding these high quality matchups. Just look at the lackluster crowds when they happen.

Panther fans will take over The Mecca.

Nailed it! Bruce Pearl was the worst PIA. I was at the game in January '69 when Marquette blew them out 118-60. That was not one of the "shouting distance" games.

This, and when they unexpectedly win 6 or 7 games in row in their crap conference, they think Marquette is ducking them that one and only season...

All things considered ( Maui, the BE, and NC ) this is the best / toughest schedule
MU has had in prob 30 years !  Awesome for the team and fans

That said … I would like them to play
UWM and / UWGB every once and a while … maybe every other year ? Of course… this only happens on our terms.

Looks like we’re going to get another matchup with the Bruins; probably a good draw all things considered: https://twitter.com/jonrothstein/status/1683635304526118913?s=46&t=HLoNtkTVfvSoDEzJafqc2g

[WeAreMarquette96]

Kansas vs Chaminade
Marquette vs UCLA
Tennessee vs Syracuse
Purdue vs Gonzaga

UCLA rumored to be landing a 7’3 Spanish center that shoots 3s and blocks everything and has potential to be the #1 pick in 2024 (Aday Mara)

Not sure if the two 4 team regions have been finalized or who we’d play next if we win/lose

I’d love a rematch against Purdon’t on a neutral floor. Although beating KU would be nice too
