Interesting Marquette Facts
- It wasn’t just Chris Farley’s Tommy Boy character Thomas Callahan III who fictitiously graduated from Marquette—the late comedian graduated from Marquette in real life. This is not basketball-related. I just love Chris Farley.
- Prior to leading Marquette to their first and only national championship (1977), Al McGuire became the first ever coach to be ejected from an NCAA Tournament Final in 1974.
- McGuire announced that he’d retire at the end of the ‘77 season which happened to end with a national title.
