Thank you for the 4 years you have given to MU. You have been parts of some really good teams. It is notable that you are 2 of 3 Big East players celebrating their senior day having played all 4 years at the same school.
Thank you for playing through pain. Chase, the thumb that needed surgery and now the shoulder that pops in and out of joint. Ben, the shin splints, broken finger, rib injury, and now, apparently, the ankle that need surgery.
This season hasn't been what any of us hoped. You two have never failed to represent MU with anything less than class. So, thank you. Good luck with the upcoming surgery and recovery. And all future endeavors.
Amen, Tower. Hard workers who've put nearly 2K points up. Despite all their physical woes they never quit putting out effort.

Really? Can't we just have one thread that celebrates the seniors and what they have given Marquette basketball over four years? Snark free? Thank you Ben and Chase for all you've given mubb!

They're not actually here reading this, you know.
And if they are ... run, now. You should under no circumstances ever visit Scoop.
Four-year players (let alone contributors) are few and far between. It will only become more rare in this landscape of college basketball (and athletics in general).
Tremendous thank you to both for being part of MUBB, and helping elevate it to the level of the previous two seasons. This season aside, they were and will remain part of a special group of MU history.
Chase and Ben contributed to teams that won 90 games in 4 years, and to teams that made it to the NCAAT 3x, won a Big East title, and reached a Sweet 16.
Chase, in particular, had a huge game against Colorado in the '24 NCAAT; we don't make the Sweet 16 without that contribution. Ben had really nice all-around games in the wins over Purdue and the Weasels last season, among other contributions.
I wish their senior seasons had turned out better for them (and the entire program). But I appreciate their efforts for our alma mater over the entirety of their careers, and I wish them well in their endeavors going forward.
The last of the key pieces of the back to back new *regular season* heights of modern MUBB. While it likely goes out with a whimper I hope years from now they're able to return with their head held high during ceremonies honoring the Big East championship sweep team and/or the Big East runner up/Sweet 16 team.
