Marquette has some of the best players in Europe, Japan, and the D league. They just chose not to play in this tournament. Or like Davante, playing on another team.

Right...they have two options -

1) take the guaranteed money they are making - and will continue to make
2) Gamble for a *chance* (1.5625% chance to be more exact) to get a one time lump sum payment of $100k-$200k

I don't blame anybody who is getting a consistent paycheck for saying no to this tourney.

Why is it either/or? Doesn't this tournament take place during the off season?

If you owned a team/business who was paying someone 70k a year, would you want them working for another team/business risking getting hurt/hurting your business (shh, not a perfect analogy)?

So either their contract says they can not participate in other basketball leagues (Or risk losing their contract) or it states that if they get hurt playing in another league they can forfeit their contract.

You know for the quality of non NBA alums we have this roster is turning out to be somewhat disappointing.

Like who? All these guys are better now than a guy like Lazar. DJO, Vander would be good options. Vander just got done with the playoffs. Maybe he joins, but it probably doesn't make sense for him if he thinks he has a shot to make a roster next year. It's during summer league, so you're not going to get guys who want to use it to try to impress a team.

Lockett Burke and Acker better than Hayward? I know that Hayward hasn't torn it up this year in the D league but you can't honestly think he wouldn't be putting up unreal numbers in those other leagues.

He's almost 30 and if I'm not mistaken he took a few years off from basketball in the middle of his career. Hayward was a great player here, one of my favorites, but he's averaging 5 points in the D League. For comparison, 2 years ago in Lockett's only D League season he averaged 11 PPG and he's certainly gotten better.

I'd love if we could have gotten Blue, DJO, and Davante. Don't think Hayward would be much help. Lockett has been a fringe NBA guy each summer, just missing the cut and then going to Europe. He actually made the Kings roster his rookie year but I don't believe he ever played.

I think the roster is exactly what you'd expect. Acker, Lockett and McNeal are great additions. Burke? No idea. Haven't seen him in 7 years.

That's a solid team. Don't need Acker to score, just distribute.

We're down to 11th in the midwest. We need votes.

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

Back up to 8th.  One more player and I believe they are eligible too.

Speaking of which, I came across this picture of Ners:

Have some patience, FFS.

They got the one more player and it's Davante Gardner.

Pretty well balanced team now, figure Acker, Jerel, DJO, Jamil, and Gardner would get their lion's share, with Lockett and Burke able to back up multiple positions. Love to see them add one more guard for depth (Blue, James, or both?).

Novak is listed as a booster. Is that a special position for 6-11 guys that can't play the post?

Up to 7th place in the midwest, which is actually 19th overall. Toughest region for votes by far.

Yeah, the funny thing is that I imagine seeding doesn't really matter. If it's all fan votes, who cares if you're first, twelfth, or sixteenth? Have to imagine any team in the top-20 will end up getting a bid, as there will be 16 at-larges.

Something neat: Wes is now the coach for the team. Really cool to see all these guys getting involved.

For those in the Chicago area, MU alumni's first game(s) - provided they remain in top 12 - will be at St. Xavier University in the Mt Greenwood neighborhood on the southwest side. I plan on checking it out. July 16-17

With only a couple days to go, MU is 6th in voting in the midwest (though only about 200 votes from 12th place).

Should be good to go, but watch for any voting runs these next couple days.

I did notice the Kentucky team is not eligible yet - though they claim there's no need for concern - and that they'll be eligible.  But Cal has actually signed on to coach them??? Why would he participate in this?

Cal's listed as a booster on the UK team page, Derek Anderson's listed as the coach.  Given the video that Cal posted the other day, I presume that his role as booster is reaching out to players to convince them to play?

Ah...good catch.  I just saw they had Cal, and didn't look at his position.

Diener's now a coach too.  MUBB is also the most "experienced" team (whatever that means) of the top 11 vote getting eligible teams in the mid-west.
