The Basketball Tournament: Marquette Needs Your Votes!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

In their rankings they were like 15th or something.

[KampusFoods]

Team is down to 8th in the midwest, with only 25 votes separating them from the 12th place team. If you haven't voted, do so now

[jsglow]

Voted and shared.  I see that the Teenage Assassin has signed on to coach.  C'Mon Travis, you got more game than just smokin' Wojo at noon.

[Galway Eagle]

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.

After reading the FAQs it sounds like they decide experience based on who they believe is the best, played at the highest level and is going to go the farthest. I think it's kind of a joke after going through some of the teams listed as higher.

[KampusFoods]

Interesting: Kentucky Alumni are officially eligible with the addition of Chane Behanan from, of all schools, Louisville.

[KampusFoods]

Down to 11th place with 55 minutes to go. C'mon scoop!

Also Joe Chapman has been added to the team.

Edit: Voting ended at 11 am CT. Looks like we hung on.

Wasn't the deadline 12 ET?

Yep I modified my post. I saw 12 and went blind.

[jsglow]

Looks like we're dancin' baby!

[jsglow]

Holy crap! One little FB share and I'm counting my money already!

Predictions for minutes and lineups? 

But actually here's my predicted starters

PG: DJO
SG: Jarell
SF: Lockett
PF: Jamil
C: Ox

[🏀]

Go big:

PG: DJO
SG: Jerel
SF: Jamil
PF: Burke
C: Ox

[jsglow]

Any way you slice it, a pretty damn good team.  So do you think all the boys come to Kasten to practice?

This is the 5 but I think I let Jerel run the point. Acker a very solid backup for him. DB can spell Jamil/Davante up front. Chapman is a nice depth addition. Are they able to add players after today?

Would like to see at least one more guy added from this pool: Otule, Vander, Bikes, Car3no, Lazar.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Pretty damn good defensive team on the wings with Jerel, Trent, and Jamil. I honestly can't remember what DJOs defense was like but if I can't remember it being good or bad, I'm sure it's serviceable.

Also Joe Chapman has been added to the team.

I like that addition.  Gritty player.

Why not add Wade and Jimmy Butler too?

To be eligible to compete, a TEAM MUST HAVE SEVEN (7) PLAYERS REGISTERED TO COMPETE NO LATER THAN 12:00 pm (NOON) (ET) on JUNE 1, 2016. After 12:00 pm (NOON) (ET) on June 1, 2016 Teams may add up to three (3) additional Players to their rosters; however, at no point may a Team's total roster of Players exceed eleven (11) and no additional Players may be added to a Team's roster after 12:00 pm (NOON) (ET) on July 1, 2016

PG Acker
SG DJO
SF McNeal
PF Wilson
C Gardner

Acker would be perfect for this team where he can just distribute and snipe. Wilson takes the tip but bodies up the 4 while Ox is the force down low.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Honestly I think only Marquette fans realize how good this team actually is, really balanced and they have some guys who can put up 30 any given day. Add a little more depth and they could very well win the whole thing.

[jsglow]

Zar is still injured, correct?  I remember him missing D league playoffs.

[brewcity77]

Ideal three additions, Lazar, Dominic James, Ousmane Barro.

[barfolomew]

I see on the TBT website where if a team makes it to the Sweet 16 and has at least 2000 votes, they can activate a ringer. I'm assuming this is what they're saving Ners for?

[KampusFoods]

Got my tickets. Anybody else from IL thinking of going?

[jsglow]

We probably would but we'll be away on vacation.
