Rapper and six-time Grammy nominee B.o.B will perform at Marquette Madness, the athletic department announced in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
This is the first year the annual pep rally will include a concert. The addition of the concert comes after the athletic department axed men’s and women’s basketball scrimmages for the annual event. Team introductions and speeches from each head coach will remain in the event.
The event changes are part of an effort to gear Marquette Madness more toward students, the statement said. The start time was moved from 7 p.m. to 9 p.
