Marquette Beats #1 Villanova One Year Later: A missed viewing leads to a major life choice

On Sunday, January 28, Marquette will be hosting #1 Villanova at the Bradley Center in a major nationally televised game on Fox. It comes just one year and four days after the Golden Eagles knocked off the #1 ranked Wildcats in the BC, giving MU their first ever regular season victory over a #1 ranked opponent. To both celebrate the anniversary and preview Sunday’s game, we’re going to let the AE staff tell you their stories and memories from that January 2017 night.

A little over a year ago, Jay Wright and Co. strolled into the BMO Harris Bradley Center most likely expecting a somewhat competitive game, but they definitely knew they were going to win, and it definitely looked like they were going to 35 minutes into the game.
