I am lucky, as my brother worked at a tv station and got an AP fax photo(one of a kind) showing the ball away from his hands, and as it was shot from a low angle it showed the clock with :01 on the clock. He got it autographed by Al McGuire years later. Al paused, and smiled to my brother, saying,..."I guess this proves it!".... it gave my brother goosebumps.
What a memory...the moment is under an acid sealed glass frame in my study. Maybe the single most important shot in MU history. WOW
That is an incredible story. You need to get that story to the MU Grad that wrote the book on Al.

I really wish all of the under 30 fans could have seen how electric a crowd could be. The arena rocked and everyone was part of the action. I remember vividly my Dad at 60y always having a few cocktails and getting loud at the games. Hallways filled with smoke at halftime and reloading the beer. The Arena was a snake pit. No offense students you pale in comparison to the Warrior students of old.

Believe it or not, but we were Duke fans before there were Duke fans. Camping out for tickets 30 years as common event. It was a circus.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

In the national semi-final game vs. UNCC, Butch Lee threw the inbound pass to Whitehead. I was sitting directly under our basket about 4 rows from the floor and Lee's pass looked like it was coming directly to me. Knew immediately J's shot had beaten the buzzer.

When I went to MU we walked uphill both ways to the games, in sub zero temperatures.  

Just a little gentle ribbing there, but lets be honest.  I would guess that the Arena had a student section that took up more of the lower bowl, and there is no upper bowl if I remember correctly. It holds HALF of the capacity of the Bradley Center, and is better designed for basketball (vs. multi purpose/hockey).  The average attendance for the last 10 years has been 3000 - 5000 higher than the max capacity at US Cellular.  My point is that part of the reason everyone thinks the student section is so 'lame' is the Bradley Center itself, and the fact that less than half the students can fit into the lower bowl so all of us alumni can pay top dollar for lower level seats.

You guys want a better atmosphere from students and in general?  Donate a boatload of cash for an on-campus 12,000 seat arena or to buy up in perpetuity a larger section of the lower bowl for students.

Mugrad--My Dad did not go to college but he and Mom loved MU like most people love the Packers. The world was different and Al was a man of the people. He attracted non MU people, factory workers, you name it. He was one man PR department and the excitement was contagious. Al would have sold out Miller Park and had it rocking. MU ball was the main event in winter time in Milwaukee.

Not my best memory, but a great one people forget.

It was the 2004 NIT year, last game of the season.  A very good Louisville team came in and we beat them on a Dameon Mason "and-1" at the end of the game and the whole Bradley Center went crazy.  We then sent off Scot Merritt and Terry Sanders for senior day, two great Warriors who were key role players inside during the Final Four run.

I was at the North Carolina game. We had 'em, but it slipped away. The Ole MECCA was really rockin that day and so was Goolsby's.

That was an awesome ending.  I remember we had to wait for Mason to hit the free throw and then for Louisville to inbound it with .7 left or something like that before we could rush the court.  Only after things calmed down did I realize I had no idea where my phone was.  Luckily it was right under my seat when I got back.

I am not ashamed to admit that one of my fondest MU hoops memories is rushing the court of the Arena... in 1995... after beating South Florida... to advance to the Final Four of the NIT.

Whenever I start to think about rushing the court, that comes to mind.

Six straight NCAA appearances.  cool!
A warrior is an empowered and compassionate protector of others.

Last year's Louisville game, sitting in the main student section. Best energy the BC has had since
I've been here, by far.

Yeah, I'm a young'un.

My all-time favorite Warrior.  Zar and Wes are close seconds but the man is all-MU.

Ran into Bo's cousin Clarence on the street in Friendship Heights when out in DC for the Gtown game. He played at LIU apparently but was going on about Bo and Al, Marquette--saying MU was a great academic school, gave inner-city kids like Bo a chance, wished he could have gone there. What was kinda unique was that he appeared to be a street person walking who saw my MU shirt, stopped me  and was going on and on about Marquette. We had a great conversation and he was pumped that MU was in town. This story is why I go off when the JUCO besmirching comes up. Bo=Ultimate Warrior

First actual memory of MU hoops is watching MU, Mac, Keys and O'Neill beat Pitino and Kentucky in the NCAA's the early 90's.

The other MU-Kentucky game in 2003 has to be the best for us younger folk.

I agree because i was to young to remember the Al days.

For as much as i absolutely loved our Final Four run with Wade, that win over Kentucky when Kevin O'Neill was coach was a bit more thrilling in my opinion. The main difference between the two wins for me was i think the first Kentucky win was more surprising. Kentucky was a true powerhouse at that time and i really didn't think Marquette had a chance to win while in the other Kentucky game, i at least thought we had a punchers chance simply because we had a star in Wade.

The way Tony Miller almost single-handedly ate up the great Kentucky/Pitino press in that game was amazing. In fact, i wish there was somewhere online that i could watch that game again. I've never seen it a second time unfortunately.

No question. This was the best. Cornbread collapsed to the deck in tears.

Not in '77, if that was your question.  They did not join until the '90's.  I believe they were an independent, or may have just joined the Sun Belt.

thanks, yeah you are right. Just looked it up. In 1977 the Metro included Cincinnati, Georgia Tech , Louisville, Memphis St, St. Louis, Tulane and Florida St.

2003 Regional Final:  We decide to go up to MSP that morning, but the only hotel available was the Marriott (Kentucky's hotel).  We walked in wearing MU gear to be greeted by Kentucky fans, wearing their blue & white windsuits, smugly telling us that we had a nice run, but they were headed to the Final Four. We scalped tickets super cheap and Marquette led the whole game.  I was sick to my stomach thinking it would turn south on us, and had a hard time believing what was happening.  I have to say that returning to the hotel after the game was one of the best experiences.  It was awfully quiet. Only the sound of the swishing of nylon wind pants as they departed the lounge area where people were watching the games.

Tampa 1994.   Easy ticket score.  Some UK fans already had Sweet 16 tickys.  Were practically giving them away.  Needless to say, we went to Knoxville.
