Greatest #mubb moment personally experienced

[Markusquette]

So many—but one that comes to mind is Dameon Mason's baseline jumper to tie the UL home game in '04. Fouled on the play, he made the FT for the 1 point win.

Ha!  You just beat me to it.  That game was really exciting in person.

[Skitch]

The USF NIT game at Mecca was probably the best while I was in school.

Otherwise the 2002 game against Cincinnati to win the conference was absolutely crazy.

The MU/Duke game in Madison was great!!

Thanks for sharing that story about your Dad. I hope jsglow hits 102 as well!!!

Beating Kentucky in 1968 in the sectional in Madison.  Still can see all those confederate flags waving in the stands.  All white Kentucky,  Issel, Pratt and Casey against
mainly an all black team except Jeff Sewell.  Badger hoops was nothing back then, the Field House was crazy the whole time.  Adolph Rupp, the ultimate raciest.

The UK in '68 was one of my earliest memories of MU ball. I definitely learned to hate UK at a young age. Have to admit, UK and Louisville are still the two teams I love to hate. Hate Bucky, but not like I used to.

[bobnoxious]

A few were already touched on but here goes
- novak against notre dame
- novak against uconn
- mason against louisville
- villanova last year
- 3 amigos senior year some buddies and i drove to south bend and came back with a win
- Deiner going off against becky his senior year

One of the worst losses was the next game against Purdue, gave that game away.  Still see Mount hitting the shot to beat MU.  Ric Cobb made one free throw at the
end of regulation.  Talked to Ric about that, his comment, at least I made the first one,  good point.

Purdue loss was painful. Mount was a player.

Best looking jump shot ever, still is!  Great pic once in SI showing it, really held the ball high on his shot, picture perfect.

Some of my favorites that I attended:
ESPN Game Day against Pittsburgh was awesome.  Three rows behind MU bench, MU up 28(?) at half... wife asked how come they were so terrible.

UConn in BEast opener.  Novak goes berserk for 41 and 16.  Place was as loud as I've ever remembered.

Kentucky in Minnesota.  I remember getting lower bowl seats from some disgruntled Rodent fans after their loss. 

Notre Dame when Novak hit that 3 pointer from the corner.  L-O-U-D

Any one of the awesome duels vs. Louisville (I was at a few... obviously not all).

[Schmidtyfactor]

My Senior year in winter of 01, driving to Cincinnati with 2 cars full of friends. MU was so-so and I had seen Cincy dominate us while in school. Got sweet lower level tickets for a Sunday night televised game on ESPN 2 (big deal back then!). We made a bunch of signs (a few of which were confiscated) and were as loud and obnoxious as we could be. The game was tight, think we blew a lead late and it went to OT where we sank about 10 straight FTs to win (Free thows don't matta though).

To top if off we got the attention of the main camera guy and got on TV going crazy in OT coming out of a time out. Then we drove all night back to Milwaukee as I had a finance mid-term the next afternoon.
Awesome!

Also, working the catering training table. One time Freeway walks in with the team. He approaches me while I'm getting food out and says "What do you think about the rumors of Michael Irvin getting traded to the Packers" (in his Freeway voice). I was shocked. No way the Packers would trade for that coke head dbag. Lovette or Polo told him to leave me alone as they were hungry.

I'll take you back
67 NIT.  I'm in 7th grade.  Dad is chair of the Athletic Board (which no longer exists).  He takes my cousin David and I to NYC.  We beat Marshall in the semis.  We are at practice at the Garden on the day between the semis and finals.  Standing with my dad who is talking to Al as practice is winding down.  Cassius Clay//Muhammad Ali, who is fighting at the Garden (that night, I think) walks out of the locker room and walks up to us.  Challenges Jackie Burke to a game of one on one and Burke smokes him.  They walk back over and Ali suggests he and Burke do some sparring---Burke took off like a bat out of hell!!!  We get smoked by Walt Frazier in the finals.
03 in Minneapolis.  Halftime of the Wisconsin/Ky game before our game with Pittsburgh.  I run into Governor Doyle---know him--actually a distant relative.  He is sporting his badger red.  Tell him he is wearing the wrong color.  He turn to an aide and says show him what I'm wearing for the next game---he opens a box with a mu sweat shirt or sweater!!!  Took all seven kids to N.O. for the finals---Minn. was much more fun!!!
Omni is 77 was the best of all though!!!

Good stuff. I am with you until you state Jackie takes off like a bat out of hell. That does not sound like the Jackie Burke I know!!

[dajudge]

Swear to God, Goose.  He wanted no part of it and I didn't (and don't) blame him!!!

[Goose]

I believe you, JK. Jackie is one of my favorites.

4) STH when Marquette beat #1 Villanova last season.

3) Mascot at Marquette vs Notre Dame in the 2008 Big East Tournament.  Lazar did some pregame warmups in the back with the Golden Eagle head on.  Following the game, Marquette fans and Notre Dame haters were chanting "We Are Marquette" as we left the Garden.  As we were crossing the street with the cheerleaders and dance team a cop over his car speaker asked "Did you beat Notre Dame?".  When everyone yelled yes he said "excellent" and either honked or turned on the siren in celebration.  I don't remember which.

2) Student when Marquette beat #2 UCONN and Novak scored 41 in their first Big East game.

1) Mascot at the 2006 CBE Tournament in Kansas City.  Beat Bobby Knight and Coach K in back-to-back nights. Still waiting for Marquette to auction off that banner!

My most memorable game was actually the loss to Miami of Ohio in 1978. We had a great path to another championship that year and I remember sitting there in the stands at Market Square arena stunned after we lost. I thought we would have matched up well against the Kentucky squad that won it all that year.

It really was the beginning of the end.

That and losing Scotter McCray to Louisville or Mark Aguirre to DePaul.  If Al stayed, he would have got one of them.  Hank still had great recruiting class that year, but
with one of the those guys, it probably would have been #1 in the country that year.   Michael Wilson,  Artie Green, Sam Worthen and Dean Marquardt.  To bad, your
right down hill after that.  Big East conference was formed and that was the end of the east coast recruits.

Hmmmmmm interesting.  I've never considered that.  Did the Big East actually end Marquette's reign of dominance?

Al leaving caused it.

You're such a positive guy Herman.     Greatest, not most memorable.   

Okay, I'll add a couple more although neither is even close to my original list. 

1) Spring 2012.  Don't even recall the opponent but I believe we won.  Anyway, chick and I were hosting 3 high school seniors (MU applicants) down at the Courtside Club and at the game.  And to give them the full student treatment, we decided to park up at campus and walk just like they would if they matriculated to Marquette.  Anyway, on the walk down Wells some 6-8 students were on the other side of the street chanting 'We're not that drunk! We're not that drunk!' as they headed down to the game.  Loved it.  All of our kids thought it awesome although sadly only one ended up at MU, largely for financial reasons.

2) 'Cuse on Big Monday.  You know, the night Davante went off and Jake hit the 4 pointer?  Great atmosphere.  Anyway, since it was a 6p start chick and I decide to celebrate with a single beer in Caffrey's before the drive home.  We get there quickly enough that we get 2 seats at the bar before the place fills to what I would label as 'crowded'.  Fifteen minutes goes by and I hear a familiar voice from back by the pool table.....

'O-M-G! My parents are in MY bar!'

Now listen to me very closely young lady!
