VOTE NOW! The Tournament is back!

[brewcity77]

Voting is back open for the Marquette Alumni Team for The Basketball Tournament. Last year the Golden Eagles Alumni, led by Dwight Buycks and Joe Chapman, made it to the final eight before falling to Always A Brave. Let's vote the boys back in and hope they make it all the way this year!

Why does the logo have a picture of a bald eagle instead of a golden eagle?

[Anti-Dentite]

I think it's actually an African Fish Eagle.

This was great last year. Hopefully Vander comes out this year and we blow everyone out

How can you tell?  It's an eagle with a white head.

Don't know if everyone is familiar with the That Basketball Tournament, the TBT.  It was fun to watch last year, especially for fans like Scoopers. I have heard that this year the organizers were trying to make it even more "college team centric". I also think there is more money at stake this year.  It makes the Summer doldrums more tolerable. So Vote.

Absolutely.  It's fantastic.  Chick and I are hoping that the first round is back in Chicago again this year.  We would have gone but we were out of town on vacation.  I think all the games could be streamed and I think I recall that beginning with the second weekend games were on TV somewhere.  In some ways it reminded me of watching the guys in Italy a couple years back.  Great summer fun.

I just voted and was poking around the website. Last year it was winning team take all to the tune of 1 million bucks. This year it is 2 million winner take all, I was hoping they would distribute the cash among the final 4, 8, or 16 teams. A friend of mine at work let me know about it last year and it was fun. MU hoops is a venue for me to hang out with my sons and the TBT allows for an extra MU hoops experience. The TBT was great from the standpoint that my guys said they always wanted to see so and so play with a guy from a different time period and that is some of what you get. I also think that this tournament was more successful than they thought so I think more TV coverage this year. Hopefully they will play in Chicago or Milwaukee I will definitely take the crew.

I'm not sure exactly when it started but I know that marquette had at least one game on one of the espns and maybe two.

Curious to see if anyone else joins the squad this year. I think I saw that Carlino is now on DJOs team in Europe. Would love for him to come on board

[brewcity77]

Fitz needs to get players on board to make sure we're eligible. I know he will, but would love it if the MU team was the first eligible to compete.

The guys are getting old...

A strange goal to have since it means literally nothing beyond being eligible to play in the tournament.

[GB Warrior]

Maybe Jimmy wants to play on a team with chemistry!

[Galway Eagle]

Hopefully we can get a big man this year or at least Lazar can come back. That 7fter from Bradley dominated us

Based on the number of coconuts it can carry

[warriorchick]

Ah!  Gotcha.   

[Herman Cain]

Got my vote in. The more votes we get the better off we are.

[SlowJoe]

I got my vote in. Time to recruit other voters.

[Anti-Dentite]

Based on the number of coconuts it can carry

That is correct, coconut capacity is key in identification.

[wadesworld]

Got my vote in. The more votes we get the better off we are.

Is that how it works?

Thanks.............
