Marquette University released its 2026‑27 Big East men’s basketball schedule on Monday, highlighting six weekend contests that will be played at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The league office confirmed the slate, noting that tip times and television assignments will be posted in the coming weeks, along with the official date for National Marquette Day.
Key home games
The 18‑game home schedule features ten weekend outings and eight matchups against programs that earned NCAA tournament bids in the 2025‑26 season. An early‑season exhibition against Michigan State is set for Sunday, Oct. 25, followed by the campaign‑opening game versus Mercyhurst on Monday, Nov. 2.
Marquette will also host a student‑only contest at the Al McGuire Center on Friday, Nov. 6, when the Golden Eagles meet Detroit Mercy.
Individual honors
Freshman forward Tomiwa Adewumi earned Big East offensive and freshman of the week honors after recording his first career hat trick in a 3‑2 win over Southern Indiana. Adewumi scored all three goals in the final 22 minutes, including the game‑winning penalty in the 87th minute. His eight goals lead the conference and represent the highest freshman total nationally.
