It's the earliest home opener in program history! And the first ever home game to open a season! And the first ever game at Valley Fields!
Revenge.
I don't know if head coach Joe Amplo is going to word it that way to his team heading into Saturday afternoon's season opener against Bellarmine, but that's how I'm looking at it. In 2015, Marquette was ranked #13 in the country and 8-1 on the season, with only a 10-9 loss to a good Georgetown team marring their record. On March 31, the Golden Eagles trekked down to Louisville for a mid-week meeting with the Knights, looking to continue to build their NCAA tournament resume with a win.
