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.
I would like to start this story by saying that, when Marquette beat #1 ranked Villanova on January 24th, 2017, I had been 23 for 19 days, I was in my last semester at Marquette as a fifth-year engineering student, and I was in business casual.
