Marquette basketball dates to 1916 and the program won its lone NCAA Championship in 1977 — Al McGuire's final game as coach, having announced his mid-season retirement. Previously known as the 'Warriors,' Marquette changed to 'Golden Eagles' in 1994 out of respect for Native American communities. Dwyane Wade put Marquette back on the national stage in 2003, recording a triple-double in the Elite Eight upset of Kentucky to reach the Final Four. The program now plays at Fiserv Forum, sharing an arena with the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks.

Al McGuire winning the 1977 NCAA Championship in his final game as coach, having announced his retirement mid-season — he broke down in tears as time expired
Dwyane Wade was only recruited by Marquette, Illinois State, and DePaul due to low ACT scores, and he had to sit out his freshman year — he went on to become the highest-drafted player in Marquette history
The Marquette Golden Eagles compete in the Big East and hold an all-time record of 1774–1094 (.619 winning percentage) across 108 recorded seasons dating back to 1916-17. The program has won 1 NCAA national championship (1977) and reached 3 Final Fours.
