NCAA Basketball Showdown: Marquette Faces Villanova, Milwaukee Hosts Northern Kentucky

On January 24, 2025, several notable college basketball games are scheduled, including a matchup between the No. 10 Marquette Golden Eagles and the Villanova Wildcats, both teams competing in the Big East Conference. Marquette, with a strong 16-3 record, looks to maintain its position against Villanova, which holds a 12-8 record. In another game, the Northern Kentucky Norse, struggling with a four-game losing streak, will face the Milwaukee Panthers, as both teams aim to improve their standings in the Horizon League. Meanwhile, in the Big Ten, Iowa seeks to end its three-game losing streak against Penn State, who recently snapped a four-game slide with a win over Rutgers.

The women's basketball landscape also sees top programs like South Carolina and LSU continuing their strong performances, with South Carolina recently defeating several ranked opponents and LSU remaining undefeated.
