2/5/74:
Maurice Lucas hits a 20-foot jump shot at the buzzer to give sixth-ranked Marquette a 59-58 victory over arch rival Wisconsin at the Milwaukee Arena. Marquette trailed by nine points with six and a half minutes remaining before rallying for the win. Notoriously poor foul shooter Kim Hughes misses two free throws in the final minute for Wisconsin, enabling Marquette to set up for the clutch goal by Lucas at the finish. Marquette will reach the NCAA tournament final this year before bowing to N.C. State.
