Egypt scored 3 points in the 3rd quarter, so I'm not going to take much from the game, but … Howard was fun to watch. It was pick-up ball, but he had some pretty passes and splashed in 3 threes in a row.

Argentina vs USA today. He's playing pretty good with the team probably averaging around 15 ppg

He really has a nice first step and it gets defenders to over pursue which gives him a nice ability to showcase that jumper. Silky smooth.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I never realized this.  He won't turn 19 until 2018.

Considering that he won't be old enough to be drafted next year, Markus Howard really could turn into a great part of Marquette's future.

Makes sense...he is graduating a year early. I didn't turn 19 until I finished my first year of college.

US U17 leads Argentina, 59-24 at the half. Marquette bound Markus Howard with 10 points, Collin Sexton has 9 points and 3 rebounds.

You don't even need to graduate a year early to be that young. I turned 18 a week before I went to Marquette. Wasn't 21 until my senior year.

His birthdate is March 3, 1999.

If he would have been born just a couple months earlier, in December 1998, he would be eligible for the 2017 draft.  You have to be a year out of high school AND turn 19 the same calendar year as the draft.

I thought everyone held their summer birthday kids back a year nowadays.  Especially boys.  You had to be one of the youngest freshman guys at Marquette.

By the way, the USA plays Korea in the quarterfinals at 2 PM CDT today.  You can watch the live stream of the game here:

I was 17 when I started at MU.  Turned 18 on 10/29 my freshmen year.

We lived in downstate Illinois when I was little, and the cutoff for Kindergarten at the time was December 1. My sister's birthday was November 24, so she basically started school when she was 4 and a half.  She has always been the youngest person in her class, sometimes by several months.

I suppose she could have been held back a year, but my parents had 4 kids under the age of 6 at the time, so any they could get someone else to watch during the day was a bonus.

I believe in Milwaukee Parochial schools the cutoff date was 11/1 back then (it was a while ago!).  I beat the date by three days so I was always the youngest in my class.

Got you beat.  When I started school, the cutoff date in Connecticut was March 1.  I didn't turn 18 until January of my freshman year.  My roommate didn't turn 18 until February.  Back then, the drinking age was 18, and it was a pain in the neck for him getting into bars that first semester (maybe got in 50% of the time).  Fortunately, I looked a lot older and don't recall ever getting carded, although I still look older and that is no longer a good thing.

Fellow Connecticutian (as you know). I also started MU at 17. You have me beat, though, as I turned 18 about 6 weeks in.

My thought exactly.  Reminds me of when lots of folks thought we were a sweet sixteen team last year when we ran some poor Italian teams into the ground.

That being said, I think Markus will have a great four year career at Marquette.
