Nearly eight years, 2,863 days and over 125 Marquette men’s basketball home games.
That’s how long it has been since former head coach Tom Crean’s last visit to the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The arena even went by a different name the last time he was there. Ever since then, Marquette fans booed every time his picture would appear on the Jumbotron during the pregame “Remember the Titans” video.
“I’ve been booed in this building,” Crean said. “There’s no question about that.”
Crean reset 2,863 back to zero Friday, returning to the Bradley Center for Marquette’s Centennial Hoopla, a celebration of men’s basketball’s 100-year history.
