 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.  Although shooting was still inconsistent at times, this group acquired poise and smoother team play that reached its peak in the unexpected upset of the Irish.
-Hit by ineligibilty, the Hilltoppers lost to Notre Dame at South Bend, 66-42, for the worst defeat of the year.  Coach Chandler's revamped lineup had not "jelled" and the team was far off form.  The next week however, the new combine showed the season's best form in losing to a highly favored Bradley Tech powerhouse by two points in a nip and tuck overtime tussle, 52-50.  In the second story-book finish in four days the Georgetown Hoyas beat Marquette, 35-34, in onw half of a doubleheader at the Chicago Colisium.

 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.  Twice Notre Dame tied up the game in the waning minutes as the crowd screamed, but each time Marquette had the little extra something to forge ahead.
 The season was concluded at Great Lakes, the former all-American standouts now wearing Uncle Sam's colors edging Marquette 52-48.  The team bowed out as it played all year, fighting against the very best opposition Coach Chandler could schedule.  Other Marquette teams were better, but few fought harder than the 1941-42 squad.
