The Marquette men's basketball program has seen significant milestones in its career free throws made chart. Dean Meminger held the record with 493 free throws until Wesley Matthews surpassed him with 549 in 2009. Markus Howard later finished his career with 599 made free throws, just shy of reaching 600 due to season disruptions. Running under the coaching of Shaka Smart, current players are finding it challenging to approach these lofty totals, as recent seasons emphasize layups and jump shots rather than drawing fouls. The leaderboard remains a point of interest as future players aim to challenge existing records.
