 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. 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.

 +Marquette tied school records for an NIT game, taking 74 shots and hitting 37 of them.  Unfortunately, the Hoosiers set a few records of their own.  Indiana's Stew Robinson dished out 14 of Indiana's 24 assists (both records for a MU opponent in the NIT) and the Hoosiers tied another MU opponent record with 32 field goals.  Bobby Knight's crew also went 30 of 45 from the foul line (both high marks for a MU NIT opponent) and knocked off the Warriors 94-82 in a tough, double-overtime contest.  Indiana wound up losing the NIT title to a UCLA squad led by a skinny kid named Reggie Miller.
