Almost a year ago, a sea of more than 17,000 blue and gold-dressed faithful dawned the bowl of Fiserv Forum — all in attendance for a celebration created to energize Golden Eagle students and alumni alike: National Marquette Day.

The last time the Golden Eagles lost on this festive day was in 2018.

On Saturday, the No. 25 UConn Huskies (15-6, 7-3 Big East) will have to keep their composure through the National Marquette Day roar of blue and gold bleeders.
