We Have Two Bahamas-Related Marquette Basketball Updates

As we inch towards November and the start of the college basketball season, it’s time for the various multi-team events to start pumping out their official schedules with dates and times and so on. We have two of those to address here, as we have Bahamas-related updates for both Marquette men’s and women’s basketball.

The first one is merely confirming the dates and times for Shaka Smart’s team in the Battle 4 Atlantis. We already knew that they would be playing Texas A&M and Virginia, it was merely a matter of in what order and precisely when.

Marquette will tangle with Ryan Odom’s Cavaliers at 11am Central on Wednesday, November 25th, and ESPN will have the broadcast. Their second game of B4A will be on Friday, November 27th tipping off at 4pm Central, and SEC Network will carry the game.

Marquette will face Illinois at 10am Central time on November 27th before squaring off against Belmont at 3pm Central time on November 29th.

For what it’s worth, this is a six-team event with everyone playing two games. That means that Iowa State and Saint Joseph’s will be in the Caribbean with the Golden Eagles, but they won’t cross paths on the basketball court.

Illinois and Belmont are new to the schedule, so let’s do a little brief previewing:
