I forgot about the excitement around Marquette Madness. In fact, I had to think back to my first year at Marquette in 2019.
For almost two hours before the event kicked off, 12th Street from Wisconsin to Wells was closed down for a “street fair” that consisted of food vendors and activities, including a 50-foot Ferris wheel.
Students lined up around the corner to then pack into the Al McGuire Center to kick off the men’s and women’s basketball seasons.
Jamal Cain stole the show in the dunk contest as he dunked over 7-foot forward Jayce Johnson to win it.
