Marquette Men's Basketball

The 2009-2010 season marks the 93rd season of Marquette men's basketball, which has had a tradition of success. Due largely to the accomplishments of the team in the 1970s (coached by Al McGuire) Marquette is synonymous with basketball. Now, under coach Buzz Williams, Marquette is reemerging as a perennial basketball power again.

Throughout the years, the team has called many venues “home” including the Lapham Park Pavillion, The Old Gym, The Auditorium, The MECCA, and The Bradley Center
