Just think how many games McNeal, Matthews, and James should have logged had there not been asinine training practices that injured players needlessly as well as proper game leadership that would have taken such talent deeper into the tournament each of their four years at Marquette. Such wasted promise.

If not for that, Wes Matt would not have been a 4 year player for Marquette.

Chris has been here so long that when he started, F*ckin' hadn't yet reached puberty.

I graduated in December 2008. Otule was on the team then. I attended my 5 year anniversary this past summer. Otule is still on the team.

To be fair, Chris is the only tenured player on the team.

He used to help Jacques drag his canoe down to the river every morning.

I had been wondering how unusual is it for a player that has played as many games as Chris to not have attempted a three? That means he never had a desparation shot at the end of a half, end of a game or end of shot clock.

I'd say pretty common for centers.

Barro played 127 games, Robert Jackson played 119, McIlvaine played 118 games without attempting a 3.
