Marquette extended that winning streak to 26 in a row.

The winning streak was book-ended with 2 OT losess, 1968 and 1984.

The Feb 22, 1984 final score looks suspicious to me as an OT score, perhaps a typo 82-86 instead of 82-68...

I checked a few other sources and 82-68 is correct. Put the wood to us in OT. Still, a 74% winning % is outstanding.
