Marquette College Gameday

Matt Yeazel and Will Sommers open with a brief look at the UConn loss before focusing on Marquette’s inability to close out the Seton Hall game. The guys discussed what went wrong late, Chase Ross’s ongoing struggles, and whether he can consistently lead the team. Caedin Hamilton's recent criticism on social media — and Kam Jones defending him — sparked debate about Shaka Smart’s trust in Hamilton, including his decision to keep him in the starting lineup. Carrington’s foul trouble at UConn also led to Josh Clark’s best career game while battling Tarris Reed. The conversation turned to New Year’s resolutions for the Marquette program, focusing on needed changes for the rest of the season, recruiting, and navigating the transfer portal in 2026. The show wrapped with a Xavier preview, checking in on Richard Pitino and discussing whether Marquette can finally get over the hump against a struggling Xavier team or if matchup concerns remain.
