Biggest shot in Marquette history?
« on: March 09, 2013, 05:02:32 PM »
A buzzer beater in OT to win the conference championship in the world's most famous arena?

I vote yes.  Greatest shot in Marquette history.

Somebody is forgetting the dunk at the end of the UNCC game.

Tough to top thats forsure. Sometimes a buzzer beating layup seems less exciting as some amazing shot(see bama game lol) but considering how bad Obpeka owned us today....it was awesome.

It clearly belongs in the top 10 conversation.   I just don't think it is #1.

I'll give you the UNCC shot.

But just think about it... Madison Square Garden, in overtime, a buzzer beater to win a conference championship we've never won before in in its last year of existence.

This is the kind of topic message boards were made for.  I still vote Vander #1.

By far Jerome Whitehead is number 1.

Diener vs Holy Cross and this are close for two in my opinion.

Brew,

  Good call on Marquette winning the Big East.  You were one of the few who believed.  I thought, at best, they would end up third, fourth.

Best 3 I've seen (not all in person):
- Jerome
- Doc to beat ND
- Vander

I would think it'd have to be behind DJO's shot against 'cuse in the tourney 2 years ago, too.

Novak against ND and Jimmy F'in Butler against ? (St Johns or UCONN) were also big.

It is not the biggest shot, because we would of went to another overtime if he missed.

You're really going to argue that regular season wins (albeit buzzer beaters) are somehow bigger than an OT to win the Big East at MSG?

Whitehead is obviously the biggest, puts you in the National Title game.

This one is in a battle for second, along with DJO's and Doc's.

Pretty big shot. Not biggest by any stretch but in top ten. Clutch shot and will be remembered for years.

I'll take any shot made in the 1977 championship game over that.

Not even close. J over Cornbread Maxwell to get to the National Championship Game. The Game. Our Title. End of discussion.

Doc's shot was pretty huge.  When you are an independent, and have no conference title to fight for, beating Notre Dame at home on a half court shot is big.

Doc's shot was memorable and exciting, this shot trumps Doc IMO. We all will remember this shot for years to come.

A big shot for sure. Love that Van stepped up and made it happen. Love that it made a Big East title happen, HUGE!  But a couple of those Jimmy Butler game winners were the difference between making the tourney or not.  While I was totally pumped today, I was never concerned about making the tourney, it was just about accolades and seeding. That said, nothing compares to the Whitehead winner, not even close.
