Avid college basketball fans may remember Iowa State forward Jameel McKay. But how can a player who never played a Marquette game have cursed Marquette? Well, that is where you would be wrong. Jameel McKay played one scrimmage in a Marquette uniform. 2013s Marquette Madness featured a highly hyped Marquette team, including incoming JUCO transfer McKay. But before the season would start, the Milwaukee native would transfer and Marquette has not recovered since.
Heading into the 2013-14 season, Marquette was on a very prestigious run. The Dwayne Wade Final Four run in 2004 is easy to remember.
