In Marquette's storied basketball history it has been to a number of Regional Finals with a chance to play for a Final Four. This will be the Warriors 7th Regional Final with a record of 3-3 in the previous six.
Thought I would do a little press digging into memory lane to share some of stories about MU in those games past.
Go Warriors.
