MILWAUKEE--For the first time in program history, the Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball team will play a regular season game at the Al McGuire Center, the team announced Monday.

The match-up will be against Alabama A&M University December 19th. Since the BMO Harris Bradley Center was not available that date, the Al McGuire Center was chosen as Marquette needed to schedule an additional non-conference home game for the 2014-2015 season.

“Playing in the Al provides our guys with a unique experience and our entire program is excited for the game,” Golden Eagles men's basketball head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
