Last season was a big one for Marquette men's basketball, literally.
The Golden Eagles were one of the 35 tallest teams in the country, featuring 6-foot-11 starters in Henry Ellenson and Luke Fischer who gave them frontcourt size few squads could match.
That was the focal point for the team, which was in the second year of a program rebuild under coach Steve Wojciechowski. The result was a 20-13 record, marking a step forward, but not a big enough one to get Marquette back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.
