[ZiggysFryBoy]

Wow, st Norberts.  Fluffy will be stoked.

[cheebs09]

The non-public scrimmage is the first of the Annual Tom Crean Classic.

[harryp]

I think that MU played St Norberts somewhat regularly in the 50's.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Anything interesting on his recruiting big board?

[Markusquette]

Did I miss news on Eke?

edit: never even saw the thread on his career concluding.

I suspect some here will declare this a "must win" game....

[rocket surgeon]

Wow, st Norberts.  Fluffy will be stoked.

LO f'ing L, wonder which hat he wears to work that day

[wadesworld]

As long as the MU social media team has their fluff posts ready to roll with the team doing community service in order to justify their chartering flights to get their asses handed to them in Bloomington we should be all good.

[Loose Cannon]

I Like the Tommie G move.

[Cheeks]

Wow, st Norberts.  Fluffy will be stoked.

So will Sultan....

MU's overall record against St. Norbert is 8-2.

Marquette played all of its games against the Green Knights between the 1950-51 and 1960-61 seasons, which spanned four MU coaches: Bill Chandler, Tex Winter, Jack Nagle and Eddie Hickey.

MU lost the first game played between the schools 53-41 in Chandler's last year as head coach. Marquette went on to win the next six games during Winter's and Nagle's years as head basketball coach.

However, the Warriors were edged by the Green Knights 49-47 in Nagle's last year.

MU won the last two games of the series in Eddie Hickey's first two seasons - 82-74 and 98-64.

According to the MU Media Guide, the teams have not played since that game Jan. 6, 1960.

All of the games were played in Milwaukee.

Go Warriors!

Go Warriors!

MU's overall record against St. Norbert is 8-2.

I believe the last time the team's played was in 1960.

Go Warriors!

Somehow being 8-2 is depressing against st Norbert

[1SE]

Isn't it Tommy? Or is this just part of the Scoop first name mis-spelling meme?

And while I like rewarding the walk-ons (who have to do all the practice and get no financial benefits) - does giving him a scholly mean we've limited ourselves in the mid-season transfer market?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

What happened to Jaffe and Lelito?

[wadesworld]

What happened to Jaffe and Lelito?

They signed the letter.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

They signed the letter.

Well played

[LloydsLegs]

Others have pointed out that it is rare to get more than 2 years from walk-ons.  A very difficult role.

[GooooMarquette]

Yeah.

But it also means that St. Norbert >> UW-Milwaukee. That kinda makes me smile.
