Point guard Travis Diener has had a phenomenal career for Marquette University securing himself as one of best players in the history of the storied program. Tonight's 31 point performance moved "Spike" into the top 5 all-time Marquette scoring list surpassing Dean Meminger, Damon Key and assistant coach Bo Ellis. Diener now has 1667 career points and needs 1774 to pass #1 George Thompson on the all-time list. Diener has five regular season games to play plus one in the Conference USA tournament.
Right now, one would have to believe Diener is not looking out for any scoring records and would like nothing more than to earn a third trip to the NCAA tournament to close out his career.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe how productive he's been over his career. Players like Deiner become guys with strong 10-year NBA careers and ever stronger analyst careers after retirement.
