It last played in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament in 2013.

The team plays its home games at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee, where the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team also plays.

Marquette is the only university to spurn an NCAA invite and did so due to a low seeding in the 1970 NCAA Tournament and having to travel. They were ranked 8th in the country at the time and were one of the favorites to win the NCAA championship. They were invited to the 1970 NIT which they won. The NCAA later instituted a rule which forbid an NCAA Division I level men's basketball team from spurning an NCAA bid for an NIT bid. An antitrust case by the NIT ensued over this issue, and the NCAA settled out of court.
