Favorite MU player

[CTWarrior]

I love good PG play.  My favorite 5 PGs at MU are
1.  Tony Miller
2.  Dominic James
3.  Aaron Hutchins
4.  Travis Diener
5.  Sam Worthen (I was a freshman his senior season)

Despite above, inexplicably, my all-time favorite player is Damon Key, who was twice the player at MU that Jim McIlvaine was though he gets half the credit.

Can't decide whether current favorite is DJO or Crowder.  Like them all.

Glen 'Doc' Rivers.  Super nice guy, even back as a student.  Still totally committed to Marquette.  And one awesome half court buzzer beater against the Domers.

I agree. I think that part of the bias is when you were in school and I was there for all 3 of Doc's years ... and I can still see that shot.

Dwight Buycks.  Milwaukee Native....he loved MU.

[wadesworld]

Junior "Doogie" Cadougan.

[tower912]

1. Tony Smith
2. Damon Key
3. Doc.   That shot made me want to go to MU
4.  Lazar
5. Wade

Junior "Doogie" Cadougan.

You mean Cadoogie Howser?

[Goose]

Bernard Toone, Artie Green, Butch, Earl Tatum and Luke to name a few few.

I loved Toone.  Remember how Al was always exasperated with him?  So much potential talent but one or two loose screws.

Tony Smith - one of the most underrated players in MU history.  The only reason to watch the team in the late Dukiet, early O'Neill era.  Had an 11 year professional career.  If they ever retire the "34" jersey for Diener, they better also include Smith IMO.

Tony Miller - loved watching him at the point, especially the NCAA game against Pitino's press.  He shredded it.

[Freeport Warrior]

Tony Smith and D Wade.

Remember the first year of the Bradley Center against Virginia and John Crotty. We were down something like 9 points with 58 seconds left and Tony Smith led us back to tie (he might have scored all the points?). I think we lost in overtime. He instructed my son last fall for Ray Allen AAU camps. He is a nice guy and great teacher.

Cordell Henry.  The one-man press breaker.

George "Brute Force" Thompson was my favorite MU player.  Although George was 6'2", he played like he was 6'8".  He would take over games, especially in the second half.  He was unstoppable!  He dominated and intimidated the other teams.  He would bring the house down with his dipsy do dunks!

[GGGG]

I saw Smith at the Kohl Center for the UW/MU game this past December.  As opposed to the guy in the nice suit for the FSN Buck's broadcasts, he had baggy jeans, an oversized Marquette hoodie, and a Marquette hat on his head.  I don't think he was with anyone...just walked in and sat in his seat in the front row and cheered on the Warriors all game with UW fans all around him.  I honestly have no idea if people even knew who he was.  Pretty cool.

[flash]

My favorite player of all time is a 3 way time between JIMMAY BUTTLAAAHH, Wes Matthews, and Travis Diener. 

[T-Bone]

Wow, no Lazar? 

Loved watching Tony Miller, Key and McIlvaine on the way to the Sweet 16 under O'Neil.  Amal McCaskill (too often forgotten) was a lot of fun to watch as well.

Lazar/Butler (toss up)
Wes
Burke
R Jackson
Wade
Cordell Henry
Hutchins
Pieper
Eford

Followed MU since grade school and was a freshman the year they won it all in Atlanta so I've seen a few players over the years.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow when I'm in the nursing home my all time favorite will always be:

EARL TATUM

Honorable mention: Wes Mathews

I appreciate guys who still love their university as much as I do.

I'm with you, Jim. GT was Al's first blue chipper from New York, the foundation on which the dynasty was built.

[Goose]

George was and is awesome and he really was the foundation of the run. I only remember bit and pieces of George at MU but no doubt he was a man amongst boys.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Has to be Wade.

Love the final 4 run, but that game he had @ DePaul (35pts) as a soph. was awesome and his reverse alley-oop from Henry (1/2 court) was mindblowing.

[chapman]

McNeal.  Come at me haters.

[strotty]

McNeal.  Come at me haters.

I understand why he didn't make it in the NBA, but it will always amaze me that a player with his ability is overseas. The best MU player since Wade, hands down.

[MountainCreekHouse]

Hands down Patrick Hazel

[Lennys Tap]

Big minutes, big numbers and pretty big flaws. Best MU player since Wade? You could make that argument, though Diener, Novak, DJ, Wesley, Lazar, JFB, Crowder and DJO might disagree. Hands down best, though? No frackin' way.
