The Golden Eagles will bring the Huskies to town in the first game that’s a legit surprise amongst these announcements.
Sunday’s Marquette Basketball schedule announcement brought a bit of a surprise along with it, although not because of the opponent. The Golden Eagles will be hosting Houston Baptist on Saturday, November 26th.
The surprise is that Marquette will be playing on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Given the rapid fire nature of the start of the season, where Marquette will be playing five games in 12 days, I didn’t expect them to come back with a game so quickly after the 2K Classic home game on the 22nd.
