Following a ten-day layoff for final exams, the Marquette Golden Eagles return to action Tuesday evening as they welcome the Grambling State Tigers to Fiserv Forum Tuesday night.
While Grambling regularly checked in as one of the country’s worst teams per KenPom just a few short years ago, head coach Donte Jackson has started turning things around the past couple years, winning 17 games in each of the past two seasons. For context, Grambling won 17 games total from 2012-16.
None of this is to say the Golden Eagles should be concerned about the Tigers, as Grambling still well below average both offensively and defensively (301st and 247th, respectively), but the Tigers are less of a pushover than in years past.
