The Basketball Tournament: Marquette Needs Your Votes!
« on: April 06, 2016, 05:52:28 PM »
Looks like Fitz is putting a MU alumni team together for the 2016 edition of The Basketball Tournament.

https://twitter.com/danieljohnfitz/status/717844429046984704

And my understanding is that we need to get them enough votes to qualify: https://www.thetournament.com/teams/golden-eagles-alumni-marquette-alumni

For the uninformed, The Basketball Tournament is a $2 million grand prize open entry event. Groups of other schools' alums have entered in the past and done pretty well, including teams from Syracuse, ND, and I think Wisconsin. F-ck those guys. To give you a level of understanding on the quality of competition, last year's champs were essentially the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the D-League.

So, go vote and tell your non-scooper MU hoops friends!

Correct. They need a ton of votes

Maybe add a "Vote for Marquette Alumni Team" to the title of the thread or mods pin it at the top to get more votes? It'd be cool to watch if they were voted in.

Could this be added to the scoreboard on the site?

R Jax is almost 37 years old at this point so he wont help much.
I was thinking     Blue, Gardner, Wilson, Dom James, Carlino

Marcus Jackson works out at my gym and is definitely in tip top shape. Played ball with/against him in pick-up a couple of times, he's good.

The Basketball Tournament: Marquette Needs Your Votes!
« Reply #11 on: April 11, 2016, 03:48:00 PM »
Not sure if this was posted, but if not, it needs to be and it needs some Scoop love behind it. Former Warrior Dan Fitzgerald is trying to get a Marquette team going for the 2016 edition of The Basketball Tournament, a $2 million, winner-take-all tournament that unites old college teams and players of eras past.

Currently, Marquette is in 17th place in the Midwest Region, and only the top 12 seeds get automatic bids. Marquette is at 143 votes and needs to get to at least 224 to pass 12th placed Ohio United (and likely needs more). Come on, Scoop, let's get voting and put a Marquette alumni team in The Basketball Tournament!

I voted. Very curious to see what the rest of the squad turns out to be, should they get enough votes.

Is there a Marquette Alumni Facebook group that is active? If so, might be a good idea to post it there.

Are you implying that the invisible hand of scoop is not powerful enough to get this done on its own?
TAMU

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Possibly. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

We are now 35 votes shy of 12th and a spot as an auto qualifier. We're in 15th. Top 12 get auto votes.

We have 181 votes and a good chunk of those are referrals. I know the Scoop community has a much larger population than that.

I just OK'd Fitz for the Marquette Club of CT Facebook page.

He promptly advertised support for this.

Bump. We're getting closer. Still need alot of votes though. Feel free to use the link below, which would help me become the "top fan" for the group.

https://www.thetournament.com/teams/golden-eagles-alumni-marquette-alumni?type=fan&f=57059d90ab29e100072670

If you need any incentive, if you vote and Marquette ends up winning the tournament, the top 80 fans of the team receive money (minimum of $1K each and up to $20K)

Dan Fitzgerald is doing his best on Facebook to increase votes, but every vote helps.

EDIT: up to 13th in the Midwest.

All he needs to do is get Jimmy, Jae, Wes or Wade to put it on twitter or retweet it and he'll get loads of votes

Good idea....disappointed in myself for not thinking of that. Can't believe Fitz hasn't at least gotten Wes to promote it since they played together.

Granted, he has probably been pretty busy with his playoff chase...

Marquette up to 12th in the Midwest. 8 more votes puts them in the top-10.
