- Damon's 3rd foul IN THE FIRST HALF was HUGE
- 25:40 Newton perfects and executes the Duke flop

Love those unis

I would think this is very rare, possibly unique.
Nov 14,1990 Marquette loses to Duke 74-87. That was the first game in the Key, MacIlvaine & Logterman era.
March 24, 1994 Marquette losses to Duke 49-59. That was the last game in the Key, MacIlvaine and Logterman era. I doubt anyone else has started and finished their career against the same team.

Niv Berkowitz came close.

Niv Berkowitz came close.

Hey-o!  (With a behind the back pass)

[The Lens]

Huddled up in a McCormick dorm room watching on a 13" COLOR TV.  Amazingly the picture quality of my laptop now is probably better.

Damon hitting that 3 to go up 9-0...I may have blacked out.

I was at that game and we had a chance. I was also MU-Duke game at Duke when those guys were freshmen and were blown off the court in their first game as Warriors. Unbelievable improvement in the four years and all deserve a ton of credit.

[GGGG]

That game was torture.  MU goes out to the early lead, but by about the 10 minute mark of the second half, I just had this feeling that Duke was pretty much in control.

You are right on regarding the game. I think the 25 beers I had pregame had me a big believer in a win than I should have been. Still a great effort.

[GGGG]

BTW, that game is when I started to despise Duke and their smarmy little prick fans chanting "Laverne and Shirley" near the end.

[tower912]

Stuck at the fire station, game not carried in my area, forced to listen to the game on the radio while working out between alarms.  Frustrating on so many levels. 

[Jay Bee]

Only good thing about the result of this game was we didn't have to run/stumble from the dorms to the lake again.

PS - '15 Jaylen Key........

[KenoshaWarrior]

Niv Berkowitz came close.

Well done.  I remember he had a ridiculous behind the back pass against Nebraska?  Half of Milwaukees jewish community was at the game.

[ChicosBailBonds]

How about the time we actually did beat them, Nov of 2006.

I'm curious, why would you bring this up.... OOOOHHHHH. 

[tower912]

Yeah, that 2006 game was fun, too.   But then, to borrow from Murf, Crean's teams were always better in November than March anyway. 

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

How about the time we actually did beat them, Nov of 2006.

We should've hung a banner!

[ChicosBailBonds]

I'm curious, why would you bring this up.... OOOOHHHHH. 

Uhm, because the thread talks about almost beating Duke.  Not sure if the thread starter is aware, but we have beaten Duke before.

Is it wrong to celebrate wins over great programs?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Yeah, that 2006 game was fun, too.   But then, to borrow from Murf, Crean's teams were always better in November than March anyway. 

#1 Kentucky, #4 Pittsburgh, etc might disagree

[tower912]

One time in 9 years.   But it was a fun ride. 

[CTWarrior]

My wife's birthday.  I took her out for an early dinner and abandoned her to go to a sports bar to watch the game and could not fake a good mood when I got home.  On a related note, my wife (an MU grad and enthusiastic ignorer of all things sports) is a saint.

[ChicosBailBonds]

One time in 9 years.   But it was a fun ride.  

I hope we go again, it's been 0 times in the last 10 years, and was 26 years since we had gone prior.

[jesmu84]

#1 Kentucky, #4 Pittsburgh, etc might disagree

Michigan State, Western Michigan, etc. might agree... This is fun!

[tower912]

We know, cheeks, you would rather have 8 years with 1 NCAA win sandwiching one glorious run versus 8 wins in 5 years with 3 consecutive 2nd weekend runs.   Got it.    

[Boone]

Loved Eford, but he was beyond brutal in that '94 game. Not one of KO's better strategic games either...subbing Key into the game so soon after his 2nd foul only to see the big man subsequently collect his 3rd midway thru the 1st half.
