====== 1993-94 Season ====== {{men_s_basketball:1993-94teampic.jpg|}} The Marquette Warriors finished the season 24-9 overall and 10-2 in the Great Midwest Conference. That record was good for first place in the Great Midwest Conference, giving Marquette the first conference championship in school history. Marquette also faced a school-record nine opponents ranked in the top-25, winning five of those contests. [[Jim McIlvaine]]'s season total of 142 blocked shots has only been surpassed by four **teams** in school history. As one would expect, the 1993-94 team's total of 198 blocked shots ranks first all-time in school history, as does their total of 580 assists. [[Tony Miller]] is primarily responsible for the assist record, as he accounted for 274 of those assists. Marquette led the nation and set an NCAA record for field-goal percentage defense with a mark on the season of 35.8% (Currently 2nd all-time in NCAA History). Marquette also finished the season ranked in both the AP poll (21st) and CNN/USA Today Poll (17th) for the first time in 15 years.
