 Team Captain, [[Gene Suppelsa]] said that although the team would have liked to have been in the NIT in New York, the NCAA was fine with him.  Suppelsa thought the only difference between the two tournaments was the sites involved and that the team would've like to have seen New York, but did acknoweldge that playing in the NCAA tournament in Evanston would give them the opportunity to play before a larger Marquette following. Team Captain, [[Gene Suppelsa]] said that although the team would have liked to have been in the NIT in New York, the NCAA was fine with him.  Suppelsa thought the only difference between the two tournaments was the sites involved and that the team would've like to have seen New York, but did acknoweldge that playing in the NCAA tournament in Evanston would give them the opportunity to play before a larger Marquette following.

 +"Sure, in a way I was looking forward a little to going to New York," said guard [[Jim Kollar]], "but the NCAA probably carries more prestige.  After all, we'll be meeting the conference winners and they don't come much tougher than [[Michigan State]] or [[Kentucky]].  Then, too, we'll be representing Marquette and if we're fortunate enough to get to Evanston, the student body will have achance to watch us.  That partisan crowd makes a big difference to a ball club," Kollar said.
