What is the greatest individual game performance since Wade?

[MUDPT]

I loved this Dom game.

2 for 11 from the field for 4 points, however 12 assists and ZERO turnovers.

Also the Cubi 6 for 6  3 game against Georgetown stands out.

Yes, that 6 of 6 from beyond the arc may have saved the season in the 3-point win.  MU had lost 5 straight games to top 100 teams before that stunner, so it really may have saved the season and prevented us from having a gap in the invite streak.  Looks like I'm out of options though, so can't add it :-)

Since Wade, Novak. However, I think the greatest individual game performance by an Marquette player was in 1976 when Butch Lee single handedly nearly defeated the USA in the olympics.

Rican agrees with you.

Rican agrees with you.

To this day I don't know why he did'nt make the USA team.

After seeing Gardner's game and stat line from last night I wanted to pull up this thread.  I think Ox's performance belongs in this conversation - maybe not #1 (I think Novak against UConn still has it), but worthy of consideration.  Pretty rare to see a player get 26 points without missing a FG attempt and 12-13 from the line, 8 boards with only 1 TO and ZERO fouls.  Add that this came against the #12 team in the country, ranked 8th in defensive efficiency, and you have a pretty memorable performance.  As a side note, reading all the frustration about DG on the Syracuse board really drove it home to me how dominant he was.

To me, the most impressive thing was 26 points on just 7 FGA without making a 3 (3.7 PPS). He earned those points.

Went with Jae vs UConn

[seakm4]

I went with another game.

'Rel vs Bucky. 26 pts (of 61), 10/18 shooting, 2/3 from deep, 7 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals in a 3 pt win

only negatives of that is the 3 TO's, but he dominated them in a huge game.

[AirPunches]

Jae vs wvu was another good one. That was the game where a couple guys were suspended. He played 40 min, had 26 pts, and pretty much sealed up player of the year.

[RJax55]

Another Crowder performance to add was in the tournament last year against BYU.

Put up a line of 25 points, 16 boards, 4 assists and 4 steals. 10/20 from the field and 3/6 from the arc. Those are beast-mode numbers, especially for a tourney game.

Regardless of opponent, I'm not sure many people here are grasping the immensity of scoring a team's final 18 points, including the game winning three pointer, in a road game.

Would give my left nut to have a PG like that again at Marquette.

Haha. Just voted for that game before reading that this threaded started back in 2012. I remember listening to this game in my car trying not to drive off the road.
