I'm stealing this topic from today's Big Show on The Fan, but what's the biggest "what if" moment in Marquette history?

For me, it's "what if Dominic James doesn't break his foot?" (Which I tweeted at the Big Show, but of course didn't make the air because they never mention Marquette)

Most of the clear answers have been listed, but I’ll add Vander Blue comes back for his senior year.

If Crean could have outcoached the Stanford assistant?

I’d have to say in the modern era it is - what if D Wade does a little better academically in high school.

What if Fr. Jacques never left France?

Other than what already has been mentioned:

Ric Cobb hits both free throws in the end of regulation against Purdue (1969 Regional Final).

Henry Ellenson stays for his sophomore season.

Indiana loses just ONE game in 1976.

Al decides coaching is a lot of fun and sticks around through the 1980s.

What if wade hadn't gone pro!

Just kidding... from my life I'd say Travis doesn't get injured, dom doesn't get injured, Vander doesn't declare for the draft/McKay stays/Duane doesn't get injured but primarily vander stays

What if Iman Shumpert would have picked Marquette. Obviously, not as "big" of some of the others on here, but I always remember him as "one that got away." Some of those early Buzz teams were pretty good. Shump could have helped.

Dominic James doesn't break his foot in '09. That team was special.

What if Trevor Mbakwe stayed at Marquette?
What if Vander Blue returned for his senior year?
What if Joe Wolf and Rick Olson had come to Marquette?
What if Shaka's wife was OK with Milwaukee?
What if Dominic James doesn't break his foot?
What if MU never hires Al?
What if Dean Smith doesn't prematurely go to the 4 corners?
What if Otule doesn't come back for a 6th year, leading McKay to be on the reserves at the first practice?

This might be the best what-if in Marquette history.

54 is davante. He was thrown out of a game because his elbows moved faster then his hips.

What if MU had kept football in the 60's?

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 25, 2018, 07:29:56 PM »

What if Buzz made Jeremy Lamb or Kris Dunn more of a priority.

What if MU had beaten #1 UNC on Jan 19, 1986?
