ESPN 30for30 short: "Untucked" - Marquette's 1977 national championship

Our latest film, from actor Danny Pudi, tells the story of how a controversial jersey design helped lead a team to a national title

Welcome back to our 30 for 30 documentary short series.
Marquette University’s men’s basketball team won its only national championship in 1977 — and did it wearing famously untucked jerseys. Commissioned by legendary coach Al McGuire, this subtly subversive uniform was designed by player and art major Bo Ellis. The jersey would later be banned by the NCAA, but this story tells how the power of a uniform allowed a championship team to flourish.

Some great post game interviews by both coaches.

Don't forget the High School tourney. Sam Dekker is amazing, and a Badger recruit. My cousin sat behind the Sheboygan bench. They are down by two, Dekker's dad is the head coach, and he's calling a two point play going for the tie. Sam Dekker yells, "No, I'm going for the win!" Then this happens(down by two), he scored 40 points, 12 in the last 45 seconds.




And another Badger recruit Zak Showalter makes Madison Memorial looks silly. Germantown went on to win the D1 Championship over previously undefeated Milwuakee King. This is just crazy.
