Marquette basketball coaches, Shaka Smart and Megan Duffy, alongside Marquette president Mike Lovell were seen generously handing out free breakfast to students on their first day of class, making the morning of the students a little bit brighter.
Golden Eagles basketball had a noteworthy opportunity on Wednesday, facing the chance to make history by triumphing over the top teams in the Associated Press poll two days in a row. A victory would have secured MU the No.1 spot in the next rankings, a position the team hasn’t held in over 40 years. Unfortunately, the team faced a tough battle and Purdue emerged victorious with a 78-75 win in the championship game of the Maui Invitational.
MU head coach Shaka Smart believes the team’s indomitable spirit is a valuable lesson that they will carry with them throughout the season, asserting that despite various circumstances, they must stay true to their identity and “play their way.” Purdue’s dominant performance was highlighted by their player Zach Edey and their impressive three-point scoring. Despite the loss, MU pushed back in the second half, showcasing their defensive prowess.
While Purdue’s victory in the Maui Invitational was a significant achievement, Marquette proved their mettle by going toe-to-toe with the former, emphasizing that this is just the beginning of what they can achieve. The early season test has revealed areas for improvement, but the team is poised to rise to new heights in the coming games and championships with a lot of guts and grit.
Kam Jones, part of the Golden Eagles, is seeking greater success with Marquette while balancing his commitment to boxing, adding another layer to the team’s narrative that would ultimately lead to a potential ring.
