They start with Mount Saint Mary’s, who have been solid the last few years, and get Purdue at home for the Gavitt Games. Purdue, with Isaac Haas and the corps of shooters around him, could pose major problems to Marquette, who will be without transfer center Harry Froling until the school’s winter break.
Thankfully, both of these opponents come to Milwaukee in the last year of the Bradley Center no less. So, a fan should be optimistic about winning both of these games as long as the Golden Eagles play up to their skill level.
