Lost in the excitement of the men's basketball schedule being announced was the release of the women's basketball schedule on Thursday. The ladies will play a pair of exhibition matches in the Al McGuire Center before regular season play gets underway at home against Butler on November 10th. Marquette will have some tough non-conference opponents on the road in November: they'll travel to play Georgia Tech (post season ESPN/USA Today coaches 10 ranking) and will participate in a tournament at Texas A&M (the hosts were a post season 12).
Big East conference play will start January 5th when Syracuse visits the Al. The Golden Eagles will also take on Louisville, DePaul, Notre Dame, and St. John's at home this season. The women will see mirror opponents UConn and Cincinnati both on the road and at the McGuire Center.
Four games are scheduled to be televised nationally which includes the annual Play4Kay game on February 17: the Golden Eagles will face off against the NCAA tournament runner up Fighting Irish.
The full slate of games is below:
