Hey, didja see this? Didja hear about this?
As early as November of 2018, we knew that Marquette men’s basketball had a multi-team event hole in their schedule for the 2022-23 season. At the time, that looked an awful lot like Nike and Jordan Brand asked Marquette to keep their schedule clear in case they wanted to do a PK85 tournament to celebrate Phil Knight again.
Flash forward a few years and, uh, well, for reasons, the Marquette brand isn’t quite as shiny as it should be and so the Golden Eagles will not be in that tournament.
