Marquette boarded the USS Yorktown to open the 2012-13 season against fourth-ranked Ohio State. Marquette would have to deal with Aaron Craft, who led Ohio State to the Final Four eight months earlier.

But condensation on the court cancelled the game. Marquette hosted Ohio State the following year but lost 52-35 as Craft scored 10 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

Five years later, Marquette will get its chance to take down Aaron Craft as the Golden Eagles Alumni will take on Scarlet and Gray Sunday after outlasting Purple and Black, 84-77, Saturday in New York.

The win was not always a sure thing, however.
