Season review

The 1988-89 season was a roller-coaster ride of sorts for the Warriors, who found themselves fighting to keep above the .500 mark for nearly the entire season.

The final record of 13-15, when coupled with the 10-18 record for 1987-88, resulted in Marquette's first back-to-back losing seasons since the 1963-64 and 1964-65 campaigns.

Trevor Powell led the Warriors in scoring (15.1 points per game) and rebounding (6.3 per game). Powell's rebounding was not bolstered by his teammates, as the Warriors pulled down just 31.3 boards per game, the lowest average in school history. Tony Smith was selected the Most Valuable Player and finished second on the team in scoring with 14.2 points per game, and first in assists (158). Michael Flory, the lone senior, finished third on the team in scoring with 12.5 points and second in rebounding (154), after coming back from injuries suffered in a car accident in May of 1988. Sophomore guard Mark Anglavar led the Warriors with 53-99 (53.5 percent) three-point shooting for the year.

Charles Luter suffered a season-ending knee injury on October 15th, the teams's first official day of practice. Gerald Posey, the highly regarded high school recruit from New Jersey, had a disagreement with Coach Bob Dukiet before the St. Thomas game and stormed off the court during warmups. He eventually transfered to Trenton State College in January. Corey Floyd, a top 50 recruit from Linden, NJ and transfer hopeful Shawn Kelly were denied admission to Marquette after they had signed letters of intent to attend.

For all the struggles Marquette had throughout the season, they still managed to shoot 52.1% from the floor and 45.3% from the three-point line on the season. Both marks still stand as team records, but they weren't enough to save Bob Dukiet's job.

On March 16th the university decided to offer Coach Bob Dukiet another position in the athletic department for the remaining three years of his contract. Dukiet, as expected, decided not to take the assistant to the athletic director job created for him, and settled the contract's money matters with Marquette.
