Marcus Washington played for Marquette from 1972-1974 and averaged 9.7 ppg as guard and team captain for the 1974 NCAA Runners Up team.

During the 1974 NCAA postseason, he led the Warriors with 17 points in a 72-70 win over Michigan in the Mideast Regional Final. In the National Semifinal win against Kansas, he was the second leading scorer with 16 points (5-12 FG, 6-11 FT). In the Championship loss, Washington scored 11 points on 3 for 13 FGs, 5 for 8 from the line, and 4 rebounds.

In a 2000 Chicago Sun-Times article about Al McGuire, Bo Ellis shared some stories with Coach McGuire before he passed. One of them involved Marcus Washington:

“One of my all-time favorites for Coach, and I told him the other day, was at practice when (players) Marcus Washington and Dave Delsman got into each other's face and Coach steps in to break it up,” Ellis said. “Marcus steps back, but Delsman won't stop, so Coach says, `I say that's enough.' Delsman starts cursing, and he and Coach curse back and forth.

Coach grabs him by his shoulders and they start wrestling. Before I know it, they're on the floor, rolling around in a bear hug. That was my very first practice ever at Marquette. I was back in the corner watching this thing and thinking, `What have I gotten myself into?'” Chicago Sun-Times, October 18, 2000

He was drafted as the 5th pick by Houston in 10th round.
