Over the course of the next two weeks, GoMarquette.com will announce the non-conference portion of its upcoming 2009-10 men's basketball schedule.
One opponent will be released each day, with start times listed when available and subject to change. Marquette fans will have a head start on plans to follow the Golden Eagles next season, rather than having to wait until early September for the complete schedule as they have in the past.
The BIG EAST Conference has announced the home and away opponents in 2009-10, leaving only the dates to be determined. Season tickets are on sale beginning July 13 and can be purchased online or by calling 414-288-GOMU (4668).
