Marquette women's basketball needed a new recruiting coordinator after Khadijah Rushdan's departure.

Cara Consuegra got one in assistant coach Sheila Boykin, who joins #muwbb after three seasons in the same role at South Florida.

At Marquette women's basketball practices, not everyone wears blue and white jerseys. Some people wear black or yellow pinnies.

Meet the #muwbb male practice players, who the Golden Eagles "wouldn't be able to win without."

Some of my favorite moments from my radio call on National Marquette Day!!!

[Marquette Wire Sports @MUWireSports]

With seconds remaining, and #mubb trailing Villanova 76-73, Shaka Smart called timeout to draw up a play.

It ended the same way as Marquette's previous times in that position: with points left on the board and a close loss.

Marquette hosts Villanova at Fiserv Forum at 1:30 PM Central Time. The Golden Eagles looking to win their second game in a row. @BenWardMU & @BrianWilsonMU preview the matchup.

[Marquette Wire Sports @MUWireSports]

Sam Gutierrez is a diehard Marquette fan.

So much of one he makes his own #mubb jerseys in his apartment.

There have been a lot of questions about Marquette men's basketball through seven games.

None are about Chase Ross, who again led the Golden Eagles to victory on Saturday. #mubb

Going from No. 10 to No. 2, Marquette women's basketball broke the Big East record for biggest jump in year-to-year preseason standings.

It doesn't faze them at all. #muwbb

#mubb starts its 2025-26 season tonight. What can you expect to see offensively?

“I don’t see a Kam Jones necessarily out there from a scoring standpoint, and that’s good.”

Really great story!! @benhansonMU

[Marquette Wire Sports @MUWireSports]

Shaka Smart's in-house roster development also extends to his coaching staff.

Two of #mubb's graduate assistants are former walk-ons Jack Anderson and Cam Brown, the first time Smart has given that role to a past player.

Lifelong hockey player Erin Johnson was "crushed" when she saw Marquette had only a men's club hockey team.

She's not the only one, either — 17 students are seeking approval to get back on the ice with a women's club hockey team.

This story was so much fun to write. Had a blast following Harry’s journey!!

[Marquette Wire Sports @MUWireSports]

Harry Connors began water skiing at 17 years old after watching a Red Bull event in East London.

The sport has taken the 22-year-old British first-year across the pond to Marquette, where he's a member of the club water ski team.

Beyond proud of my guy Noah!!!! He’s been due for a yard ball and I’m honored that I was there for the call!!!

[Chad Cushnir @CushCam]

Congratulations to Noah Prudencio (@FSCJBaseball signee) on his first high school home run last night in a 16-1 win for @ACRaysBaseball over First Coast. Here's the call and post-game interview from @noolimitben. https://t.co/LqWzPEU2lg @DanHicken @BrentASJax

[Ben Ward @BenWardMU]

Final football broadcast last night. Extremely grateful for @CushCam for providing the equipment and smooth camera work all season. Despite the losses, it was a blast being able to call some great plays and great games! Baseball season is next!!

[Ben Ward @BenWardMU]

This one was a blast to call!! Crazy 4th quarter. Thanks to @CushCam for the help as always along with his son on the scoreboard!! He’s a prodigy!

[The Morning Rays @themorningrays]

3 touchdowns in the final 3 minutes! We needed a 4th TD and didn’t get the ball back, but Monday’s Creekside-AC game was an instant classic. Here are a few highlights from our online broadcast with @noolimitben on the call. @BrentASJax @StuartASJax @SchlickSports

[Ben Ward @BenWardMU]

2nd ever football broadcast in the books! Had so much fun last night despite the blowout of a game. So grateful to have the opportunity to call some of the star players Mandarin has lined up for this season. As always thank you for the help and the opportunity @CushCam!!

[Chad Cushnir @CushCam]

A few of my students will provide a live (and free) broadcast of tonight's high school football game featuring the newest Longhorns commit Jamie Ffrench and his team from Mandarin as they visit Atlantic Coast. The game begins at 6:30 Eastern here. https://t.co/Kn5ct0gPdt

Thank you to @MiaOBrienTV and 2022 ACHS grad @Simons4Jacob (a.k.a. “Yoda”) from @1010xl for visiting with my Digital Video Technology 3 & 4 students today. I learned a lot about multimedia and YouTube analytics, and I know my students did too.
