After their loss last year, I’d have cut them all and started over. It’s unacceptable

Hope Jamil, Dwight and DJO are part of the team.

Would love to see Swaggy Du on the team

Maybe should have made better use of Kempom analytics...

If they had a season of analytics to use, they probably could have but that’s not the format. Lot of those guys played for Buzz and he used KenPom analytics quite a bit, so I’m sure they’re better players because of it

I like the last few MU TBT teams. Is Matthews eligible?

Sure. But why would he play? He played for nearly $2 million last year and likely will be playing again next year. Why risk it?

Two new additions today. Ohio State great Kaleb Wesson joins Golden Eagles TBT because Carmen's Crew isn't playing this year. Former MU & Iowa State player Deonte Burton is also on the roster. Both are significant additions.

Excellent news .
Hopefully we can get Swaggy Du on board and reunited with his close friend Deonte.

Bane is back in blue and gold!

MuggsyB is Cain?

According to the TBT website, this is the current roster:
Deonte Burton
Derrick Wilson
Elgin Cook
Jarvis Williams
Luke Fischer
Kaleb Wesson
Sacar Anim
Joe Chapman indicated DJO will also be back on Twitter yesterday. IMO that leaves Dwight Buycks and Jamil Wilson as the biggest question marks. If those guys both return, I think this team is probably the favorite to win it again.

I like how it's shaping up. Wesson is a big boy. Listed at 6'9 270 on his college roster page. Really need a Jamil/Buycks commitment. Even Acker would be nice

Yes, a selfish team.

Mo and Vander showing up on the team now.
This is looking good.
They still need a shooter or two. DJO would be the perfect addition.

MU recruit and former NBA player Diamond Stone has committed to play for the Golden Eagles TBT team. That gives them a third big along with Fischer and Wesson.

I just looked up to see what ole Diamond is doing these days. It turns out he lead the Taiwan league in scoring, playing for a team called TaiwanBeer HeroBears...which now might be my favorite team name of all time.

Read yesterday the G League will have a team representing this year, including the Thompson twins Ausar and Amen (projected top 10 picks in the 2023 draft)

That's actually Overtime Elite (not to be confused with 4-time champs Overseas Elite), which is the main G-League Ignite competitor. My guess is they are going to get run hard.

That's 2 (and in some cases 3) more bigs than NBA teams use!

How many guys does that give us? Seems like quite a few. Makes me think Jamil and Buycks may be out?

We absolutely need DJO
And Jamil.

IIRC, Stone played 1 game 3 years ago in TBT, shot and missed a bunch of 3's, got hurt and that was it. I remember watching it and noting that he was incredibly unfit.

How's Deonte's game right now?
Can we go:
Mo/Diener
DJO
Buckys
Burton
Cook
?
-
Other than when we played Sullinger, is there much size in this tournament? I remember Davante not getting much playing time due to not being able to matchup with anyone on defense.
Jamil not playing hurts as he’s been our MVP. Hoping Deonte can help that. Plus, having DJO back should help the offense.
-
Jamil plays through the end of June in Puerto Rico, so maybe that's why he's out.

Maybe Deonte and Vander can lessen the blow? We have solid guard depth and versatility. I can't see Luke or Stone playing much. Cook is an excellent TBT player and Jarvis has his moments. If Deonte has his explosiveness you have to like our transition game. We may go DB, VB, DJO, Deonte, and Cook for our death line-up.
-
Last year we were missing DJO. I hope this year it won't be the same but with Jamil. He's been the x-factor on the Golden Eagles' TBT team since they started.
-
Jamil plays through the end of June in Puerto Rico, so maybe that's why he's out.
There have been late additions to TBT rosters before. It will be interesting to see if Jamil maybe shows up, especially if they get out of Dayton.
-
Wish the guys had Jamil, but a solid roster that should contend.
Having a TBT team to watch and root for is a nice little diversion in the basketball offseason, so like everyone else here I hope they give us lots of games to watch!
-

Yup $$$ here is very good for someone like him.

Has anyone seen Deonte ball recently? is the elevation and power dribble still there?

Too many Wojo guys
Maybe Wojo can get some Duke and UNC players to pay for the "Golden Eagles".

Not to burst everyone's "Jamil" bubble, but last year he shot 32% overall and 30% from 3 in TBT. Even in Puerto Rico, he shoots only 36% overall. He's become a negative player in terms of overall contribution as he's aged.
The missing link is Buycks.
Burton is a good addition and seems to shoot 3s much better these days.
Vander will have to play excellent defense and take part of Buycks role getting to the hoop/creating his own shots.
Cook is really the heart of the team now.

He's so versatile and also been a clutch player in many moments. There's no way you can convince me he's a negative to the Golden Eagles.

Pretty sure hes solidly the TBT leader in 3 pt makes as well. So yeah, kinda useful.
Also at 6'8 in a setting that doesnt have a lot of size to begin with. Hes a total match up nightmare.

snippets from the article on jsonline today:
Jamil Wilson and Maurice Acker have been on every Golden Eagles TBT team, while Darius Johnson-Odom is back after missing last year with an injury.
While Diener is the graybeard of the team, 24-year-old Sacar Anim is the youngest.
The Golden Eagles will open the tournament Sunday night in Dayton, Ohio, against a team that features Ohio University alumni.
But before that, there will be a scrimmage against the current MU squad that, if history is any indication, will include future TBT players.

Exactly. Someone like Elgin Cook who played Euroleague level for the last 5 years is going to dominate even All Conference level 20 year old kids. Coaching wont elevate guys who have dedicated their whole life to basketball, and nothing else, for the last 5 or more years

If you have any streaming service, you have access to "all the ESPNs." If you pay for ESPN+ or the "bundle," with Disney+ and Hulu, you get 'em too.
Even if you have cable and therefore only get ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, you probably still can get access to stream ESPN, either on a computer/tablet or via Roku or Amazon Fire or Chromecast. When you add the ESPN app, it will ask you to sign in through your "provider," aka your cable user name and password.

On the bright side, when the real season starts in November. We cannot possibly see worse rebounding then what I have watched this second half.
Might as well stick me out there to grab the ball

Ya...I tvought my computer had to be wrong. That is unheard of for a decent FT shooter.

Was Wojo coaching?

If you have any streaming service, you have access to "all the ESPNs." If you pay for ESPN+ or the "bundle," with Disney+ and Hulu, you get 'em too.
Even if you have cable and therefore only get ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, you probably still can get access to stream ESPN, either on a computer/tablet or via Roku or Amazon Fire or Chromecast. When you add the ESPN app, it will ask you to sign in through your "provider," aka your cable user name and password.
I thought everyone knew this, and has known this, for at least 5 years. 😂
By some of these questions- you’d think people were still shopping at Radio Shack and climbing up on their roof to adjust their antenna.

Agreed. Wearing one shoe for 90% of the game then switching in hopes of hitting a shot in those at the end is dumb.

Can someone help me understand why Puma's marketing team would permit the rule where a player (ie DJO) can change his shoes to Pumas in the last possession solely to win the $? Why not require them to wear the shoes the entire game? Its a complete disrespect to the sponsor / Puma in that the only way DJO would ever wear Puma is on the last possession and for $1k. Hell I may wear Pumas for 5 minutes under those circumstances.

Yeah but for any player to be selfish enough for $1000 could potentially cost everyone $66k a piece

You’re talking about puma basketball shoes now. I’m sure a lot of people had no idea they were even in the hoops shoe game.

My guess is the amount of impressions the game winning shots get on social media makes paying $1K for a player to wear the shoes. At least that’s my thought on the theory. Not sure if that’s how it works out.
-
I totally get why Puma is doing this; the publicity is priceless. And I totally get why many players would be willing to switch into Pumas late in a game; a thousand bucks is a thousand bucks.
But it's not the best look in a team sport when players are scrambling to change shoes for personal gain even as their team is in the process of blowing almost all of what looked to be an insurmountable lead.
Here are the main questions I had as I watched MU's Elam Ending shyte-show last night: Are any players wearing the Pumas all game long? If not, why not? Are they that effen uncomfortable?
-
I thought the 2 on 1 break MU had when they only needed 1 point to win and kicked it out for a brick 3 was the play of the game.

3 missed FTs by Jamil as well...

Derrick played really well last year, and last night was a good start for him, too. This team has so many shooters, he doesn't need to shoot or even drive to help the team a lot with his defense and hustle. I think he only took one shot yesterday, and he swished a 3. Also made a few 3s last year IIRC. It's not surprising that he improved over the years since graduating.
During his time at Marquette, however, he didn't play on good-shooting teams. Defenders sagged 10 feet off Derrick and that hurt the offense. Buzz and Wojo hamstrung themselves by not recruiting anybody better to play PG during those years. It wasn't Derrick's fault that he only could do what he could do. Always seemed like a nice guy and great team player.
-

Yeah, but it was a wide open three. They have won games over the years by hitting those and it might be a better shot than a contested two.

Because, did you notice how the announcers pointed out for 3 minutes straight that guys were changing into the PUMAs? That is direct shots of the shoes, and guys strapping them on.
A part of me wanted to buy the shoes before I woke up and was like... oh this is great marketing.
-
Oh yeah forgot that. Thanks.
Injured Diener still better than the crap I saw at the end though.
Duane with the squad but not playing.
Hopefully , Swaggy will be playing in the next game.

You clearly don't pay attention to sports. They are the main sponsor of Usain Bolt, the biggest track athlete of the last 20 years. They sponsor a TON of high level soccer clubs and national teams. They have a growing golf portfolio. The sponsor Melo Ball and a couple other young NBA stars. Its not like its LA Gear

Puma did practically fade away in the early 90's
It looks like they had revenue of approx $200-400 million yearly during the decade.
They're now up to about $4 - $6 billion annually.
The aformentioned LA Gear took a chunk of that early 90's sales as they made it up to around $1 billion annually.
But as the days of glitter disappeared and the age of grunge was born, LA Gear was finished.
Although there still are shoes made under the LA Gear name. Annual sales of around $5 million.

Rickie Fowler popularized Puma for a lot of kids. They loved the golfer who looked like a kid himself and who dressed in those bright-colored Puma clothes and shoes.
When I was a kid, Walt Frazier was the coolest athlete on the planet. He wore Puma and they named one of their shoes after him. I begged my parents to get me some Clydes and they finally did. One of my favorite birthday presents ever.

My parents were pretty anti-materialistic so I always had to deal with generic shoes while kids were wearing first generation Air Jordans. Until I had foot problems in high school, and my doctor recommended Nikes because they support the foot well and are cut more slim - so they were good for my long, skinny feet. I was never more happy. I certainly didn't get Jordans, but I at least got a more decent shoe to wear.
Nikes are still the only tennis shoe I will wear because it actually does fit my feet well.

I pay attention to the sport. I stopped caring what shoes athletes wear around the time I started paying for my own shoes. Besides Micheal Jordan, I’m not sure I could tell you what any athlete wear/wore and my enjoyment level of watching sports has not deteriorated.
-
That picture of Frazier looks like they literally made him wear his shirt backwards so you can see his name. The collar sits up high like it would at the back of his neck.

We can't win without Jamil. Our ball movement has become a bit stagnant. Move the rock. A little too much one on one Kyrie nonsense. It's time to get some spot triples and more drive and kick.
It's obviously absurd we are playing a road game.
-
Seriously? Why is Luke taking 3's??
-
Luke should be kicked off the team if he takes another 3.
-
What was that? Luke doesn't need to hedge that high. Gave them a wide open three.
-
Missing waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many easy shots.

now they wont miss
-
Total lack of focus in the 2Q. We need to play with far greater discipline and get our mojo back.

Maybe Mo should play more?

Cannot buy a hoop. Fk.

Get DJO back on the floor. Now.

Better wake up. Shaky start to the 3Q.

For as much love as Chapman gets, he’s been terrible. Can’t get the ball moving offensively and is playing guys like Mo and Jarvis who are awful. Also not sure we’ve really run any Jamil/Buycks pick and rolls that have dominated the TBT for years.
-
We've also missed a ton of free throws.
-
Vander is very bad offensively. Broke jumper and a one trick pony with the straight line drive, tunnel vision on the rim.

Great. A microcosm of the 2nd and 3Q. Big probs.

Deserve to lose with boneheaded decisions like that one by DJO.

doesnt feel like this ones gonna go are way. they hit a ton of 3s and the circus buzzer beater is the cherry on top. dumb djo shot

Wow. Playing terrible basketball
And … Dayton is giving MU … what
4,000 (?) reasons to HOST the TBT …
-
Deserve to lose with boneheaded decisions like that one by DJO.
Lots and lots and lots etc, etc, etc, of piss poor decision making out there. By my tally we're talking about an 18 point swing.

Big shot by Anim. Let's go now!
-
That's a goltend!!! WTF???,

Fking bcrap.

Very confused why Vander is in and Buycks is not. Even if Buycks is playing hero ball…who’s not? I’ll take the talented player playing hero ball over the not talented one playing hero ball.
-
Nice to see guys taking it to the hoop.
-
Wow. Shocked Buycks missed that. Ughhh.
-
what a game
-
We can do this! Get an immediate trifecta here and then step on them the rest of the way.
-
Defense keeping us in the game
-
I know they still have fouls to give, but when you have the dumb off ball foul in the bonus is a flagrant foul rule, I’m not sure giving fouls is a smart move.
-
Too much one on one. Absolutely need a hoop here.
-
Terrible offense. Move the freaking basketball!
-
Fortunate call there.

offense is horrific. suprising

Brutal. Not our night and still had plenty of chances.

Was discussing this in a group chat today. Buzz was the master of the upperclassmen fringe NBA guy. Jamil, DJO, Buycks were all cup of coffee guys that dominated TBT.
But looking ahead as this team is washed up, it's...Sacar, Fischer...maybe they can get Haanif and Sandy? Markus is probably the best prospect, but there isn't the wealth of options there once were.
It was a fun era, hopefully we'll have more to cheer for from the proper MU team, because TBT is entering the Wojo era.

Luke seems pretty useless to me . I would get a 4/5. Maybe Ellenson. Burton could have helped. Is Reinhardt still hooping? You're right, not much in the Wojo pipeline

Caught a lot of the game but not all. What I did watch was a lot of mostly solid D but a completely stagnant offense. I also saw DJO twice at the end of a quarter toss up a shot too early and give up a 3 on the other end. Inexplicable really especially for our wise old team. As others have said, I'm wondering who's back going forward. Buzz guys are getting up there and an early exit doesn't leave a lot of optimism for next year. But hey, that 2020 run for the championship was really a ton of fun and at least they did get one of those with these guys.
-
Where’s Jerel and lazar?
In their mid 30s and out of basketball for a couple of seasons.

Looks like this iteration of the team's last dance:
Joe Chapman: Thank you for supporting us!Been a hell of a 8 year grind!These men gave us dedication for the program we love @MarquetteMBB. It’s not easy giving up your time away from family and love ones. most of these guys gave 8 years to @thetournament . I hope we represented you all well!

That’s too bad. I have enjoyed watching them in TBT for sure. 2020 was really an amazing run.
-
I see this has already said here multiple times
1. Offense disappeared in the 2nd quarter and only returned for the first half of the 4th.
2 Missed way too many shots they usually seem to make.
3 Was fun viewing summertime Marquette basketball. Was hoping for another game or two.
4. ABD

One other Dayton note.
My Xavier daughter says, "they're so obnoxious. Ehh!"
-
Bring Brian Wardle home to coach the TBT team
-
There is a VERY small part of me that is happy for Dayton because they were robbed of the 2020 NCAAs and that team's hero Obi Toppin was in the house and helped corral 8,000 fans last night. Maybe that was the moment they never had.
I will now shower to remove the stench of this Dayton softness.

Me too - was joking saying it to my buddies but then we started rattling off options and it’s very clear there is a significant gulf in available talent from the last few years compares to previous options.

Maybe some of the older guys won't continue, but I hope the Golden Eagles can still get a squad together. This year was frustrating. Hope to see them in TBT next year.
-
Would like to see the team pick up JJJ . Lots of steals in this league which is one of his specialty's , can also shoot the 3 and drive. Has a nice pick and roll relationship with Luke. Pair him with Swaggy Du in the backcourt and you would have some good energy.
Then get the rest of the 2016-17 team that is available. Rowsey was on this team for a few years but rarely played in games. We sure could have used him last night.

Rowsey rarely played because he can't defend a hat stand. There are three real keys to a successful TBT team. You need fringe NBA talent, you need guards that are willing defenders, and you need mobile bigs that can stretch the floor. Jamil, Buycks, DJO, McNeal, Juan, and Cook all checked some of those boxes.
Going forward, Markus is the only guy who looks like a surefire TBT star. Fringe NBA guy, great scorer, willing (not great, but willing) defender. Blue and Cook help, but they're on the wrong side of 30.
The rest of our alumni from 2014-21 just aren't great. Luke looked stuck in molasses and can't shoot. JJJ and Duane would be fine role-players, but like Sandy Cohen and Trent Lockett (on Gutter Cats currently) are TBT bench players, not stars. Similar to Sacar. Who else is close to the NBA? Maybe Carton or Justin Lewis (check back in 2 years), but guys like Koby, Katin, Theo, Cain, Bailey, and other recent grads are probably role-players at this level.
I hope they keep the team going, it's fun to watch, but 23 wins in 7 years is something we probably won't see again in this competition for a long time. Build something around Markus, like TMT and Jimmer, and hope for some development from the next few classes if they want to stay competitive. But if this year's games are any indicator, we were already a ways away and that was with Jamil, DJO, and Buycks, who I doubt we'll see again, and definitely not at all-TBT levels.
-
So much COLE. Al would die again if he wasn’t already dead
-
What a bummer last night. All the guys that were stars the last few years did nothing. Bad luck? washed up? I was shocked. What happened to Stone and Burton? I am sure Travis and others may step away. Add Markus, Henry? I think its time to find a few new guys with Wisconsin connections? Any ideas of other Wisconsin natives?

Agreed. And Bucky is pretty much made up of guys that are good college players but not good enough for the NBA. Might be a way to retool and give both fanbases a chance at a summer title. At least, after we all guzzle some Listerine to clear the little bit of throw up in all our collective mouths.

Thought about Rico's suggestion a little more...
Gold N Red 94
Guards: Vander Blue, Markus Howard, Bronson Koenig, Sacar Anim
Wings: Deonte Burton, Elgin Cook, Sandy Cohen, Nigel Hayes

That's six guys with NBA experience, all guys with state or program ties to one or the other, and isn't ancient like the current team. I think there's potential... ;)

Getting more respect now than he did while at MU.

Perplexing comment considering this squad was one of the top 3 over the last 8 years in TBT
Considering Jamil already said he won't be back, DJO will be 33, Buycks will be 34, and Acker will be 36 when this next tips off, is it that perplexing? Even Cook and Blue are the wrong side of 30. Unless the will be reverse aging, a need to upgrade across the board seems logical.

I don't disagree with adding more youth. Not that the same squad will return, but I still think the same team plus 2-3 swapped players would be very competitive next year. Rebounding is definitely a need. I'm wondering if Jamil's comment was only because he's done and some of the other core players may return (Cook, DJO, Buycks, Anim, Fischer, Blue). Burton would have helped this year.

If we field an alumni team next year, I strongly suspect it will look radically different.

As much as I love these guys, it's hard to be Acker and a 5'7" 1 guard who's starting to lose a step. Pretty much everyone on the squad felt like they were a half-step slow. Time comes for us all.
Not going to lie, the well needs to be basically filled with the fringe NBA guys, and we haven't been churning a lot of them out of late. Plus between schedules and risk, a couple things have to break the right way for the international guys to come play. Is it worth the risk/does the schedule work for Markus to come hoop for the TBT when he's under contract in Europe? It's not an easy problem to solve.

I think it's a legit "if." Wouldn't be surprised if there isn't enough interest next year to field a team.

Elgin is 29 this year and Blue is just 30. The rest have to be done.
-
There was no ball movement in the loss. Seems like we were trying straight line drives to the basket too much. The opponent was too athletic and talented for that strategy to work. Also the officiating style encourages the players to defend hard .

They are, I wasn't as clear as I should have been. Will be wrong side of 30 when this next tips off.

Rowdy was on the team one year though he didn't play much. I don't know how effective he could be given his lack of defensive chops, but he could put up a lot of points in a hurry

Could the student section put together a team and win TBT?

JJJ would be an excellent addition to the team . Can shoot it, can drive it , has good passing especially in pick and roll , likes to go for steals which is big in TBT
-
JJJ always struck me more as a BBQ guy, being from Memphis and all, but I also wasn't with him on his official visit like some, so he may be more of a steak person.

Without a doubt. Sprinkled liberally with middle age scoopers.

I agree with this analysis

I really look forward to the tbt years with wojos guys. I really want to relive those 7 years of memories like I do with Diener.
Oh wait.

Probably will need Jeenathan and his Neck.

They should all play for whoever they want if Marquette's not going to have a team.

Sure, I was more wondering would anyone tune in and/or root for Buycks to have success if it also meant that that specific team would too. The Wichita State team or the Kansas State team I could see (DJO played for a non-MU team one year IIRC), but it'd be a tougher ask for Syracuse IMO.

Eh. They hardly have any Syracuse payers from what I remember.
-
I will tune in to root for Buycks the same number of times that I tuned in to watch a TBT team other than Marquette's in previous years...zero.
-
Right …
Watch a TBT game that doesn’t involve
MU ?? LOL … No thanks
-
If MU had a team, I'd be miffed, but if they don't its fine. little icky in orange but its mostly fine.

Best of luck to Buycks. Get paid, not so young man.

Nah. MU has no team. So he’s just looking to make a few buc(y)ks…..
-
Exactly. In years past, the MU TBT team picked up players from other schools. MU doesn't have a team this year. Buycks is essentially a free agent.
-
Is Dwight going to be coached by Devendork? That would be tough to view.
-
I enjoyed watching the MU teams in past years; I doubt I’ll watch a minute of the TBT this year.
-
Since Jimmy B got shytcanned, is this even a Syracuse team anymore? More like Old BE All-Stars.

Is there a reason why there is no tram this year after so much success in recent years?

I get the impression most of the core of the group was done with the TBT and they didn't have enough newer alumni interested to fill in.
(Just my speculation.)

We had a great TBT core. Guys like McNeal, DJO, Jamil, and Buycks were always good enough to flirt with the NBA but not quite good enough to stick.
But as the Crean/Buzz era guys age out, we just don't have that anymore. The guys that Wojo coached & recruited for the most part just aren't there. I could see us having a successful team 5-10 years down the road. Maybe even including some Wojo guys like Markus or Sacar, but we need a new core of borderline NBA talent to be a TBT force again.
-
I am interested to see if the TBT is still around in 5-10 years.
-
Maybe the Saudis will buy it.
