+ | Ten points might have turned the hard luck story of the basketball season into a happy tale of success. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Playing perhaps the stiffest schedule in Marquette basketball history, the cagers made each opponent fight to the very last second to achieve victory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For the scond consecutive year Coach Chandler opened the season without reliable holdovers from the preceding campaign and with considerable laco of scoring power. | ||
+ | |||
+ | An all-sophomore lineup of Jack Dentinger at center, Bob Pierce and John Millunzi at forwards, and Burt Bril and Al Skat at guards answered the call in the season' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dentinger pacing the scoring in this period, with Kuffel not far behind. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Far from the polished machine of the previous week, Marquette again lost to Wisconsin, 36-25, on the Auditorium floor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Hilltoppers then took to the road and a list of setbacks, the first to Syracuse, 41-29, and then in close succession to Detroit 34-32, and to Michigan State, 51-40. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ineligibilty took Dentinger and McCarthy at the semester, forcing Coach Chandler to rebuild his team mid-season. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Interchanging Swieciak with Skat and Mullunzi and utilizing the height of Matt Reichel, a senior, Chandler was able to floor a fast and aggressive combination that had front line scoring punch and improved defensive play as the squad raced down the home stretch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Hilltoppers lost to Notre Dame at South Bend, 66-42, for the worst defeat of the year. Coach Chandler' | ||

+ | The last home appearance had Marquette conceded little chance to beat Notre Dame, the the fighitng team fought its hardest to upset the Irish 46-43, in one of the wildest battles ever played on the Auditorium floor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The season was concluded at Great Lakes, the former all-American standouts now wearing Uncle Sam's colors edging Marquette 52-48. |
