Nothing major, but a mildly entertaining read:

34. It doesn't have a nickname like "Lethal Weapon 3" or "Run TMC" but Marquette's trio of guards -- Dominic James, Jerel McNeal and Wesley Matthews -- is a very special group. All three are strong on both ends of the floor. The Golden Eagles have lost in the first round of the last two NCAA Tournaments. Not this season.

Also get a mention of KO and Majerus for those historically minded.

Don't forget reason number 62!

62. There are only 130 days until Selection Sunday.

FIRE UP MARQUETTE!

"Run TMC"

nice...but according to wikipedia, his middle name's Aaron?

"Run TMC"

Run TMC stood for Golden State's trio of the 90's.

Tim Hardaway
Mitch Richmond
Chris Mullin

That's where it comes from. Where did you get Aaron from? What are you talking about?

[bartmiller#1]

Run TMC refers to Golden's States team of the early '90s, featuring Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin.

Uptempo and exciting play.

I think the Aaron mention comes from Thomas Aaron Crean.  If we used his initials it would be run TAC.

How about "The 3G "Net"Work"....3 Guard 

[spiral97]

Just call em the M3 - (Marquette 3) after the spry BMW roadster described by wikipedia as: "the BMW M3 is a high performance version of the popular compact BMW 3-Series automobile"

[thisists]

we should have a nickname for our guard trio.  how about some more nominations then we could put it to a vote in a poll?

[dwaderoy2004]

[thisists]

50 things to ponder as hoop season starts

#45 - Watch out for Marquette, which returns its top eight players from a team that won 24 games before losing soundly to Michigan State in last year's NCAA Tournament first round. If All-Big East junior point guard Dominic James improves his 38.4 percent field-goal shooting, the Golden Eagles' season won't end so suddenly.

M3 works for me...and that is a damn nice car too.

[Ready2Fly]

Let's leave cars out of any nickname, it'll make me think of NASCAR, which could induce vomiting.

[tomcrean4pres]

NASCAR?!?!  i feel sick!
