The 2023-24 Marquette University men’s basketball season will be the second for Donovan Theme as a program specialist.
Prior to arriving at Marquette, Theme served as a math instructor, dorm parent and coach of men’s soccer and basketball at New Hampton School in New Hampshire (2020-22).
Theme helped guide Marquette to a historic level of success in 2022-23, highlighted by the program’s first BIG EAST Conference regular season and tournament titles. The Golden Eagles won a team-record 29 games and tied the league record for wins (17). MU earned its highest national ranking in nearly 50 years and the roster featured the league’s player of the year (Tyler Kolek), sixth man award winner (David Joplin) and a pair of all-league honorees (Kam Jones and Oso Ighodaro).
Marquette earned a No. 2 seed, highest in program history, in the NCAA tournament and claimed an opening-round win over Vermont in Columbus, Ohio.
A four-year letterwinner with the Wofford men’s basketball team from 2016-2020, Theme helped the Terriers win 86 games in four years and led the program to its first NCAA tournament win in program history during the 2018-19 season.
A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Theme is enrolled in the master’s program at Marquette. He earned bachelor’s in business economics from Wofford College in 2020.
