==== Season review ====
"A terrific year except in the loss column."  These words of Coach [[Eddie Hickey]] explain the 1959-60 basketball season. The Warriors, who concluded the season with a 13-12 record, played good basketball, but at times a shade too little of it. The habit of losing leads, which Hickey attributed to lack of depth and height, cost them six victories.

[[Don Kojis]] led the team in scoring with 523 points, a 20.9 average per game. He missed Marquette's season scoring record of 526 by three points.

Kojis and [[Walt Mangham]], the "Kangaroo Kids", combined to make the nation's best two-man rebounding team in college basketball during the 1959-60 season. Kojis snared 384 rebounds to place eighth among collegiate basketball leaders. Mangham's 341 ranked 16th.

Mangham was voted the team's most valuable player.
