===== Trivia =====

  * During halftime of Marquette's win over Cincinnati in the first round of the '77 tourney, as the team walked off  the floor, Bernard Toone, complained to McGuire that he hadn't played enough. Coach Al told him to clam up. Toone complained again in the locker room. Without warning, McGuire jumped Toone and wrestled him to the ground. One of the team's trainers fractured a wrist pulling him off of the player. Coach Al laughed as he recounted the story: "The other team is in their locker room talking strategy and X's and O's, and we're having a rumble." He also thought the fight helped the team to the title.
