2024-25 Non-Conference Schedule

[tower912]

This is not meant as a dis of anyone who proudly wore the Blue and Gold, but many of the games which compiled that record occurred when MU started guys like Grosse, Nethen, Candelino, Leurck, and Flory.

The most recent came with players named Dominic, Jerel, Wes.

Both sides of my family are from there or  near there. I was born near there and lived there in my early years.  My sister and her husband attended UD.  I have hung out with many of their friends and fellow Flyer alum.   My high school had many Marianist priests and brothers from UD.  There are more Dayton alum than MU alum in my parish and attached to both Catholic high schools my children attended.   I have never had an interaction with any of them where I thought 'what an a-hole'.   
UD has the exact profile the Big East is looking for from a size, history, fanbase perspective.   The only downside is it is in Dayton.

Thanks for the answer. Have a great weekend!

That's not very recent   

[tower912]

The most recent game/loss to an A-10 team involved players named Tyler, Oso, Omax, Kam.

just guessing here...Shaka's first season w/MU vs St Bonnie?

[Shooter McGavin]

Unfortunately MU will lose to many teams.  Such is life. 

[Galway Eagle]

Not to worry. I signed up to MUScoop this morning, in the event that an opportunity to present relevant factual information of interest to Marquette fans might arise. It has. I won't be posting here again until gameday (December 14, 2024).  If Marquette wins, I'll certainly show up again to congratulate you on your road victory. If Dayton wins, I won't be posting until gameday @ Marquette 2025, and only to wish Marquette 'good luck'.

Brewtown Andy's take on things is well worth a read:

I Regret To Inform You That Marquette Men's Basketball Is Playing Dayton (Brewtown Andy, Anonymous Eagle – July 10, 2024)

For those of you who are interested in the history of Marquette University and its former rivalry with Dayton, this is probably the most comprehensive article written on the subject:

That's what I was thinking. That was a really good, experienced, and ranked Bonnies team. They started at least four seniors.

They were so good that year they didn't even make the NCAA tourney.

[The Sultan]

They were so good that year they didn't even make the NCAA tourney.

They were ranked when Marquette played them, very experienced, but dealt with injuries and COVID issues during the season. It wasn't a terrible loss. And by the end of the year, Marquette was the better team.

[tower912]

The Bonnie's beat up MU.  IIRC, a couple of their fans came here to talk about it.   MU's program managed to carry on.

Seriously curious, tower. What do you like about Dayton?

FWIW, I neither like nor dislike Dayton, though I've enjoyed poking fun at the Dayton fan who posted here.

So how difficult will it be to get tickets for the Wisconsin game?

If those who follow this stuff had to guess, how much do you think 2-4 tickets will go for?

[brewcity77]

Depends on where you want to sit. Probably around $80-100 to get in the door, going up to $300-400 if you want to get closer in the lowers.

For as far back as I can remember they open up single game ticket sales to season ticket holders only for about a week before they're made available to the general public. So if you know someone in the Milwaukee area who is a season ticket holder, have him keep his eyes and ears open for the announcement and have him physically go down to the MU ticket office on Day 1 and he'll be able to buy 2 or 4 uppers at a "marquee game" face value. Probably. The only thing that makes this a little dicey for the UW game is that they tend to hold back a lot of these UW tickets to sell as part of 5-game packs, etc.

[MU82]

Thanks Dtd and brew. Still don't know yet if I'll be able to get to the Midwest that weekend ... but if I do, I sure want to go to that game.

I think the last MU-UW game I attended was one in Madison where we fell behind big and rallied to make it close on a bunch of shots by Wardle and Cliff, only to lose in the end. Maybe 1999 or 2000?

Too damn long. I want to be there when we kick their arses!

[The Lens]

Dayton is a fine school for kids who can't get into college. It's like Iowa but without bad football.

you may be thinking of our first trip to the Kohl Center, in 1999, as we play in Madison in odd numbered years. We lost that game by 12 after cutting the lead to 7, In 2001 we went into Kohl undefeated and fell behind big when Wade got into early foul trouble. The boys cut it to single digits but lost by 13.

Any word on when Dayton tickets go on sale?

It's a sad fact that Dayton has a 74% acceptance rate while we have an 87% admission rate with lower average GPA.

Yeah i like the targeted marketing approach but our ranking is really skewed by a couple elite programs (PT, Nursing) one of which has a pretty low ROI unless you plan on going for a nurse practitioner degree.

adding the PA program was a brilliant move on MU's part as it's a major that is in high demand and continuing the grow. The move of the Nursing/PA school from Clark to Straz is a big one for the future of the program.

[The Sultan]

Most schools have long stopped caring about acceptance rate. They would much rather efficiently target students for enrollment and not waste time and money reviewing apps that don't make the cut.
