1984-1985 Season

Season review

Marquette featured senior co-captains Mandy Johnson and Robert Hall as starting guards, junior swingman Kerry Trotter, and sophomore Tom Copa at center.

Among the new faces were junior college transfers Mike Davis and Benny Moore, along with freshmen Michael Sims, Tony Reeder and Pat Foley. However the most attention was focused on the junior transfer from DePaul, Walter Downing. The Warriors even had a new mascot, Blueteaux.

Some of the faces missing were 1983-84 scoring leader, Dwayne Johnson, who sat the year out because of academic problems, and Vic Lazzaretti and Lloyd Moore both of whom transfered. To compound matters, Coach Rick Majerus kicked forward Terry Reason off the team. Days later guard Richard McCormick quit the team claiming that he wasn't seeing enough playing time.

Despite early season problems, Marquette finished with an 18-10 record and played as a cohesive unit down the road when it really counted. The Warriors were consistently ranked high in the nation in field goal percentage, defense and scoring defense – all of which helped them earn an NIT bid.
