What Are Your Marquette Favorites
« on: January 06, 2022, 05:08:11 PM »
Running Marquette Overload, the most frequent comments I get are people's love for Tony Miller.  A Tony Miller post generates more likes and comments than anyone outside of Dwyane Wade.  This got me thinking what are other people's all-time Marquette favorites.  I don't care who or what the best or most important was.  I want to know what your favorites are.

Favorite play: Blue’s game winner vs Davidson. (And the comeback in general. That was a wild swing of emotions in such a short time.)
Favorite game: Sweet 16 win vs Miami in 2013 (really felt the program was rolling at that point…haven’t won a tournament game since)

Favorite season: 2013 (elite 8 year)
Favorite player: DJO
Favorite coach: Buzz (assuming Shaka doesn’t really count yet)
Favorite team: 3 amigos freshman year. They breathed life into the program after the final four and competed well in the big east. (I never dislike the team though and it’s always about the same every year)
Favorite jersey: 2005-2010 gold
