November 9, 2017 By Bill Scott

Steve Wojciechowski

Steve Wojciechowski and the Marquette men’s basketball program landed the state’s top 2018 recruit in Stevens Point’s 6’8 forward Joey Hauser.  It means Joey will join his older brother Sam on the Marquette roster starting next season.

Joey Hauser officially signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday.  He’s joined by Brendan Bailey from American Fork (Utah) High School.  Bailey officially signed in 2016 but is on a two-year Mormon mission in Washington D.C.

Joey Hauser led Stevens Point to three straight WIAA Division 1 championships.  He averaged 23.6 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists a game last season as a junior.

Joey’s brother Sam averaged 8.8 points a game as a freshman with the Golden Eagles last season.

The Golden Eagles have three games left in the Big East regular season, two of the three coming on the road.  It starts on Saturday with a trip to Providence.

Marquette’s offense falters in loss to Butler (AUDIO)

For most of the season, the Marquette Golden Eagles defense has been an issue.  Last night, the offense took its turn in the Golden Eagles 68-65 loss to Butler in Big East play at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Marquette (15-9, 6-6 Big East) trailed by seven at halftime.  But the Golden Eagles battled back with some solid defense and took the lead midway through the second half.

But Butler (19-5, 8-4) regained the lead just a couple of minutes later and never trailed again.

Marquette’s defense held the Bulldogs to just 28 points in the second half but couldn’t come up with enough offense to pull out the win. [Read more…]

Wally Ellenson walks away from Marquette basketball

April 22, 2016 By Bill Scott

MarquetteGoldenEagles2Wally Ellenson will not return to the Marquette men’s basketball team next season.  Coach Steve Wojciechowski confirmed Thursday that Ellenson has quit the program, soon after his brother and teammate Henry Ellenson decided to turn pro.

Wally Ellenson will continue with the Marquette men’s outdoor track team this spring, as a four-time All-American in the high jump.  He has one year of eligibility left in both basketball and indoor track, and his future plans are not known.

Ellenson transferred to Marquette after two years with Minnesota, and he averaged tow points and two rebounds in eight minutes per game this season.

Marquette’s NCAA post season changes take a big hit

February 14, 2016 By Bill Scott

MarquetteGoldenEagles2The Marquette Golden Eagles had the ball with a two-point lead with 1:42 left to play on Saturday.  That’s when Creighton took over and pulled out a 65-62 win over the Golden Eagles at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski called a timeout to set up a play for the Golden Eagles (16-10, 5-8 Big East).  He said his team didn’t run the play and Henry Ellenson missed an off-balance three as the coach questioned his players for not running the play.

“I know we have three freshmen and a sophomore whatever on the court at the end of the game, but 25 games in out of a timeout you have to try to do what we want to do and if it doesn’t work then that’s on me,” Wojciechowski said. “But, you’ve got to try to do it.  Not doing it is not acceptable.”

James Milliken hit a three-pointer for Creighton to put the Blue Jays up one.  Marquette’s Traci Carter missed a jumper that would have given the Golden Eagles the lead back again.

Marquette elected not to foul and forced Creighton into a miss, but the Golden Eagles couldn’t get the rebound.  The ball was tipped out to Isaiah Zierden who was fouled and made a pair of free throws to give Creighton the three-point win.

The loss crushed any chances that Marquette has at receiving an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.

Ellenson finished with 16 points to lead Marquette in defeat.
