+ | [[Eddie Hickey]], who succeeded [[Jack Nagle]] as basketball coach after an illustrious career at [[Saint Louis]] University, estimated that it would take two years to restore the Warriors to their former position of renown. | ||
+ | [[Mike Moran]], a six-foot eight-inch senior center, led the way with 526 points, an 18.1 average. The lefthanded hook shot artist concluded his career as the possessor of every significant scoring record at Marquette. His 526 points set a single season record, and his 1,355 points represented a career record. Moran also set the single game high in 1957-58 with a 44 point explosion against [[Creighton]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fowards [[Walt Mangham]] and [[Don Kojis]] finished with 387 and 403 points, respectively. Mangham, the national high school high jump champion in 1956, wrestled down 372 rebounds. His cat-like jumping feats were a continuous source of amazement to spectators. Kojis, generally acclaimed as one of the finest high school players ever developed in Milwaukee, climaxed a brilliant sophomore year by being selected to the NCAA all-tournament team. A fiery competitor, Kojis led the Warriors with 376 rebounds and placed second to Moran in scoring. | ||

+ | "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. | ||

+ | "I remember that our 1955 team actually preferred the NCAA. We had heard so much about Adolph Rupp and his great [[Kentucky]] teams, that we were dying to get a shot at them. They talk about publicity advantages in New York, but I honestly believe that we got more ink after knocking off [[Kentucky]], | ||
