 ====== 1999 - 2000 Season ======
+Coach:  [[Tom Crean]]\\
+Record:  15-13\\
+Final RPI:  67\\
 When [[Kevin O'Neill]] left Marquette, [[Mike Deane]] was handed a roster that included two future NBA players, Marquette's all-time leader in assists and five players who would finish their careers as 1,000-point scorers.  When [[Tom Crean]] took over for Deane, he inherited a team with a losing record and just two players who would finish their careers as 1,000-point scorers.  The team's total of 44 blocked shots on the season was the lowest total since they started tracking that statistic in 1979.
-In his first season as head coach, Crean took a team projected by many in the preseason as sixth in Conference USA's American Division to its first postseason appearance in two years. Facing a schedule that featured 13 games with teams who participated in the 1998 NCAA Tournament, the 33-year old first-time head coach led his squad to 15 victories overall, including two over Top 25 teams (#21 [[DePaul]] and #25 [[Louisville]]) and an 8-8 conference mark.
