McKay Commits to Marquette!

[The Process]

News has been great and hope it just th start of better things for the program. Has been a good week to b a Warrior fan.

Yes - now if Buzz et al can get the Milwaukee and Chicago pipelines at full tilt... *drool*

Fixed.  At least a decade later Pavia tried to shake Hank Raymonds hand, and Raymonds wouldn't do it, and I don't blame him.

Murs, you're wonderful man, but you have to understand something. We did ourselves in that day. The ref was bad, but there was no excuse for Marquette being anywhere close in the score to Miami of Ohio. Hank knew it too and it's a heck of a lot easier to blame a ref than it is to acknowledge you lost control of your team.

That game should have been a blow-out by halftime and we should have been playing walk-ons beginning in the last 10 minutes of the second half.

Miami of Ohio did us in that day -- because we let them! So please don't blame the ref. All he added was contributory negligence.

That game embitters me because it started the downslide. Everything that went wrong with Marquette basketball in the 1980s began in March 1978

I have trouble believing that Murs.  See this link to an old JS article one week after the MU-MU game.

"I'm 6 foot 8 and a half WITHOUT shoes"

That puts him at close to 6'10" in shoes....AKA NBA height!!!

This signing just grew bigger!!!

Was 5'9, went away for a couple of years and came back at 6'7.    A poor man's Anthony Davis.  We can only hope.

I think the point is the game should never have been close enough to have those calls effect the outcome. Perhaps the team was looking forward to the second round matchup and was looking past Ohio.

I do agree that game began the long and painful slide for the program.

Wow, hard  impossible to argue with that.  I always thought of the Hank refusing to shake Pavia's hand story as the exception that proved the rule regarding what a gentleman Raymonds was.
