Damian Lillard says he is playing tonight for the Bucks in Game 2. #NBASky

Damian Lillard will travel with the #Bucks to Indianapolis, but he will not put a timeline on his return. He did say once he feels he's ready to play physically (i.e. movement, muscles feeling good, etc., etc.) he's playing. #NBASKy

Tyler Kolek was back in Milwaukee doing Tyler Kolek things. #mubb www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Marquette is gonna look a lot different next season after losing its top three scorers and senior leaders. #mubb www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Really good, and sober, analysis by @bensteelemjs.bsky.social of where Marquette’s season went wrong and questions that need to be answered going forward. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

A window closed abruptly for Marquette in the NCAA first round. "The Guardians" of Shaka Smart's culture are departing. What comes next will be fascinating. Will #mubb change how it constructs its teams? www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Marquette assistant coach DeAndre Haynes suffered a devastating knee injury in practice last month. He just got cleared to return, so he will be along for the NCAA tournament ride with the senior players he came into #mubb with. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

The Marquette seniors are not strangers to the big stage of Madison Square Garden. They put on a heckuva show in a second-half comeback in the Big East quarterfinals that had Dwyane Wade jumping out of his front-row seat. #mubb www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Doc Rivers says Giannis, Kyle Kuzma and Gary Trent Jr. are available for tonight. The live blog is up and running! www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Ahead of Marquette's Senior Day, you'll hear a lot about the team's "Guardians." Everybody knows about Kam Jones, Stevie Mitchell and David Joplin. You should know about Cam Brown, too. #mubb www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

After every game, the Marquette basketball coaches break down the performance in ways that go way beyond the traditional box score. Here's a look at the granular details that the #mubb staff examines: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Hubie Brown gets a lot of love from Milwaukee Bucks after his final TV broadcast at 91 — ✍️by @bensteelemjs.bsky.social www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Marquette has lost three straight games for the first time since Shaka Smart's first season. Consistent three-point shooting remains a bugaboo for #mubb. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Zaide Lowery just had his college high in points. He gives Marquette a unique look off the bench with his versatile skills, athleticism ... and long-sleeved t-shirt. #mubb www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

The legendary coach who learned to read people as a Queens bartender. The Biblical line of NYC guards: Thompson beget Meminger who beget Tatum who beget Lee. St. John's is New York's team, but Marquette also grew its from cracked sidewalks. #mubb www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

What a weird box score from last night. Marquette forces 25 turnovers, gets 17 offensive boards and puts up way more shots than UConn. But frigid shooting for #mubb and a red-hot Solo Ball made the difference. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Marquette has some legit @LEGO_Group builders on the team. A lot of nights, you can catch a group of #mubb players putting together something complex like a 3,893-piece McLaren or the 5,201-piece Avengers tower. It also might help their hoops games: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Earlier this season, Marquette struggled when Kam Jones was off the court. In a dogfight with Butler, Jones had to sit with foul trouble. How did #mubb respond? Well, Stevie Mitchell happened. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Damian Lillard pleaded his case for being awarded his 10th rebound for a triple-double. Upon the film review, Brook Lopez looked slightly abashed after going for the board. What do YOU think? www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Just a tad later start than anticipated.
