2025-26 Marquette Men’s Basketball Player Review: #9 Damarius Owens

With the 2025-26 season long since in the books, let’s take a few moments to look back at the performance of each member of YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles this year. While we’re at it, we’ll also take a look back at our player previews and see how our preseason prognostications stack up with how things actually played out. We’ll run through the roster in order of total minutes played going from lowest to highest, and today we shift to a sophomore who had a much better run of things after Christmas…..
