Marquette University
Wade played collegiately for Marquette University in Milwaukee. In Wade's first year at Marquette, he did not play because of academic problems. When Wade became eligible his sophomore year, 2001-2002, he led the Golden Eagles in scoring with 17.8 PPG, as well as averaging 6.6 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game, leading Marquette to a 26-7 record, the school's best record since the 1993-1994 season. The following year, Wade led Marquette in scoring again with 21.5 PPG, as he led Marquette to a 27-6 record and the school's first and only Conference USA championship, and powered the Golden Eagles to the Final Four in 2003, the school's first appearance in the Final Four since 1977.
Perhaps his most memorable collegiate moment came in the 2003 Midwest Regional Final in the NCAA Tournament in Minneapolis. Against heavily favored, top-ranked and top-seeded Kentucky, Wade recorded a rare triple-double, recording 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, including 4 blocks and a steal on defense to lead Marquette over the Wildcats 83-69 and into the Final Four. Wade was only the fourth player in NCAA Men's Tournament history to record a triple-double, after Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Andre Miller. Marquette finished the season ranked #6 in the AP poll, the school's highest ranking since the 1976-1977 season.
Wade's strong play in the tournament caused his draft stock to increase significantly, and he subsequently elected to enter the NBA draft and forgo his senior year at Marquette.
