TBT 2021

[JWags85]

DJO out, Vander in.  Jamil Wilson not yet shown on roster.

Vander is a nice addition, he's still only 28 and can ball.

But the sleeper for me is Matt Lojeski.  He's 25, but he has played the last decade for the cream of the crop teams in Greece (Olympiacos, Panathiakos, and AEK Athens) and was the top scorer in the Euroleague a couple years back.  Dude is a real solid player.  Takes over that Diener role probably

Is Vander definitely on the team or just speculation?
How about Loj?

I'm not Instagram privy and didn't find anything on a quick search.

I would love these additions because Van was one of my recent favorites at MU and I'm a big Olympiakos fan so I also love Lojeski

Good lord, someone help them with their web design...

Also, they're gonna need some more height on that team.

Who else called Markus a cancer? Honestly asking.

Love that Vander is on the team. He is all about winning.

Was just going to say that

You meant, he's 35.

How much height is typically in this tournament. Other than the year Sullinger played, I thought most teams played pretty small lineups. I know Gardner was basically unplayable due to not being able to guard anyone.

Maybe one more big guy for when Fischer gets in foul trouble. If Jamil plays, he'd probably cover the big guy. Or Cook.

I think Jamil is the prototype big guy for this tournament. Can guard all 5 positions.

[Boozemon Barro]

What about Davante Gardner? He's only 24 and is a big time winner.

Davante is closing in on 30

[Skatastrophy]

Just don't tell the opposing teams about the Vander Orange thing.

[MU82]

Davante is closing in on 30

He ran like he was closing in on 30 when he was a Marquette freshman!

Loved the big guy, though (even if he wasn't "automatic").

I wonder if he'd shoot a half-dozen 3s a game if he were playing in today's college ball.

Was barely able to play last time he was on TBT. All around bad matchups for him.

[jsglow]

We don't play big typically.  Luke gets some minutes as a traditional 5.

Yo Glow. When you coming down, need to drink beers again. In this tournament most don't play real big more athletic fast with length.

So Jamil is also back, but I wonder who Joe is referring to...

Still trying on Diener?

I think Duane Wilson has wanted to play in the past.

[wadesworld]

Really too bad DJO is out.  This roster would be the best MU has had in their TBT history.  Pretty stacked.

[Galway Eagle]

Wade Novak and Deiner running it back

Yeah adding Vander to the defending champs woulda been really tough to top.

Swapping him in for DJO at least keeps us really strong.

Still trying on Diener?

I thought Diener made it clear that last year was it for him?  Couldn't really go out on a higher note.

Yea. I just remember last year Chapman told Diener he was playing while Diener was on the golf course.

I figure this year with no bubble, he may join the team, even if he's largely there as a coach.

[oldwarrior81]

does David Moss have ties with Acker?  From Thornwood.  A bit older, at 37.
