Greatest moments in Marquette basketball history

10. Tony Smith drops 44 points on Wisconsin — Feb. 19, 1990

Marquette basketball was finally back on the grid after a disastrous end to the 1980s. Much of that was due to Tony Smith, the program’s all-time leader in average points per game (23.8). In the 96th meeting between Wisconsin and Marquette, Smith erupted for 44 points at the Wisconsin Field House. This still stands as the most points in a single game from an individual in Marquette’s history. Despite the 44-point effort, Marquette fell 82-65.
