Markus Sets (Another) MU Record

FS1 post game said Markus is the first play in MU history to score 90 points over three games.

Wow, and how many minutes did he play in the first half against uga? More like 90 in 2 1-2 games.

Btw, was really great to be the only Marquette fans living in Auburn so we could take grief from my UGA fans after the basketball game and then again after the sec championship,
and then have the rival Alabama team we just hammered the week before selected while they were taking the day off. No really, it was great.

If I'm not mistaken, the announcers said he was the only player in MU history - since 2000 - to do it.

Which would explain why they only named Wade, Wes, Crowder, etc, but not Lee, Thompson, Kojis, etc.

I don't know that anybody else did it, but maybe somebody did. Maybe they only had since-2000 stats handy. I'm sure somebody will flesh out the stats before 2000.

I always get frustrated when NFL announcers talk about the all-time sacks list - rarely noting that the official sack stat dates back only to 1983. I'm guessing Deacon Jones had a shyte-ton of sacks. Or blocked shots. Does anybody really think Russell and Wilt didn't have more career blocks than anybody ever? It just wasn't an "official" stat back then.

Not to take anything away from Markus at all. He's been a stud.

I did not hear that qualifier and I have you doubt you did.  Curious, why only go back to 2000?  We have game box scores and schedules much further back than 2000.

I get why sacks only go back to 1983 ... because that is when we started recording sacks as a stat.

Doesn't football keep play-by-play archives?  What's keeping the NFL from going back and simply matching-up any play where there was no pass attempt or hand-off that resulted in a loss of yardage and counting those as sacks?  Sure, you'd miss any sacks from tackles for a loss of less than a yard, but the vast majority would be accounted for, no?

Tony Smith had 97 in 1989-90

https://twitter.com/MarquetteMBB/status/938464521961852929


However, did he have three straight 30+ games.

Anyway, in a vain attempt to find boxscores for these games, I found this article:

https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/03/08/Loyola-67-St-Louis-58-Dayton-90-Detroit-72-Evansville-66-Marquette-57/1188636872400/

"Chris Mack led the foul shooting in the last two minutes Thursday night to lead Evansville to a 66-57 win over Marquette in a quarterfinal game of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference tournament."

Yes...it's *that* Chris Mack who transferred to Xavier the next year.  I also remember having a "listening party" for that game in my apartment.

Which has a better team than DePaul.  If we could only make the switch. Loyola would improve in the Big East while DePaul may have improved to the point of having the very best last place team in Big East history.

No way.

Loyola plays in an arena that is only slightly larger that the AL, and they have an average attendance  last year of 1,800 fans, which is a third of DePaul's.  Why would the Big East want that?

I am old enough to remember when Marquette and Loyola used to play at a reasonably full Chicago Stadium.

Loyola has like zero basketball tradition. They had one good championship run, a random sweet sixteen and that’s it. 5 NCAA appearances and 4 NITs would put them farrrrrr behind the rest of the conference

When is the last time Loyola beat a ranked team?    When is the last time you thought about Loyola?  And I was there when we were losing to Loyola.   Back to back years.   Road tripped down to Chicago even to watch a loss.   Losing at  home my senior year.    Good times.

I thought that was common knowledge

Despite all the D1 schools the only two with legitimate history are U of I and Depaul, maybe SIU to but never championship caliber.

He is. And he was at Cal last season. And he would likely still be at Mizzou even if he had been hired here. He took a solid Cal program and ran into the ground in three seasons. They'll be lucky to finish 11th in the PAC 12.

How? You'd have to ask to Cal fans about the specifics. What I do know is that his time out there went like this:

  • Took over a team that went 21-14 and had a 2 seed in the NIT.
  • Missed the postseason in year 1
  • Landed two 5 star freshman and earned a 5 seed (and first round upset) in year 2
  • Made the NIT as a 1 seed (and lost in the first round) in year 3
  • Left for Mizzou
  • Now the fallout from his departure has Cal starting this season off 3-6 with losses to UC-Riverside, Chaminade (by 24), and Central Arkansas (by 27). Only wins are against Cal Poly, Wofford, and CSU Northridge.

He also managed to have a sexual harassment scandal with one of his assistants IIRC.

Don't know what would have happened if Cuonzo came here, but I'm pretty sure that we would have still left for the Mizzou job. I know if the results had been a missed postseason, an NCAA first round exit, an NIT first round exit, and then starting what seems like a multi-year rebuild with a new coach....I would have been pissed.

And I think that came across in the interviews. He had no real plan/vision except recruiting (which is important and he is good with). His teams play defense, though.

That said, he has had problems, maybe not all his own as he is a good man. But, following Buzz...wasn’t going to happen.

Fun fact I learned while looking up the capacity of the Joe Gentile arena:

Loyola is the only school in the state of Illinois to have won an NCAA championship in basketball.

1963

The team was notable in that it broke the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" amongst coaches in which no more than two black players would be on the floor at one time (and in some road games, black players would have to rotate so that only one of them was playing at any given moment): the Ramblers would regularly have three or four black starters, paving the way for the 1965-66 Texas Western Miners men's basketball team who would finally put the "agreement" to rest and have an all-black starting five.

On July 11, 2013, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their championship, surviving members of Loyola's team were honored by President Barack Obama in a ceremony at the Oval Office of the White House. It also was announced that the entire team would be inducted in the College Basketball Hall of Fame in a ceremony scheduled for November 2013.

I remember watching Terry Furlow of Michigan State score 50,48 and 42 against Iowa, Northwestern and Ohio State in the pre 3 point era. I estimate the 3 point equivalent was probably 58,56 and 50.

Markus  picture shooting in the left panel for SOTG  reminds me a little bit of Furlows shooting style.

Furlow died in a cocaine related car crash which cut short a promising professional career.

The best pre-3-era game I saw a player have in person was Scott Skiles scoring 45 for Michigan State at Williams Arena. It seemed at least half of his shots were from NBA 3-point range. He was a hell of a college player, and a pretty good pro, too.
