2003
wade's performance during the midwest regional final of the 2003 ncaa tournament was highly publicized by the national press. against heavily favored, top-ranked and top-seeded kentucky wildcats, wade recorded a triple-double with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. his triple-double was the fourth in ncaa tournament history. wade's exceptional play helped lead marquette over the wildcats 83–69 and into the final four; wade was named mvp of the midwest regional. marquette finished the season ranked no.6 in the ap poll, the school's highest ranking since the 1976–77 season. wade's strong tournament play resulted in increased visibility in the national media and, consequently, a high draft projection. as a result, he elected to forgo his senior year at marquette and enter the 2003 nba draft. on february 3, 2007, almost four years after wade played in his final collegiate game, marquette retired his jersey at halftime of a game against providence. although marquette requires student-athletes to graduate prior to receiving jersey retirement honors, the university made a special exception for wade based on his accomplishments since leaving marquette.
