Thread: The Basketball Tournament - Marquette Alumni Team

  1. #1

    The Basketball Tournament - Marquette Alumni Team

    I'm stealing this from a poster on Scoop to get more eyes on it.

    Looks like Fitz is putting a MU alumni team together for the 2016 edition of The Basketball Tournament.

    And my understanding is that we need to get them enough votes to qualify:https://www.thetournament.com/teams/...rquette-alumni

    For the uninformed, The Basketball Tournament is a $2 million grand prize open entry event. Groups of other schools' alums have entered in the past and done pretty well, including teams from Syracuse, ND, and I think Wisconsin. F-ck those guys. To give you a level of understanding on the quality of competition, last year's champs were essentially the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the D-League.

    So, go vote and tell your non-scooper MU hoops friends!

    Marquette still well shy of being eligible for this. The top 12 vote getters in each region get an automatic bid, currently Marquette is at 143 and needs to reach 224 to pass 12th placed Ohio United.

    Everybody should register and vote. It takes 2 minutes.

    They are going to have to do a better job of advertising this if they want to get included...

    Bump. We're getting closer. Still need alot of votes though. Feel free to use the link below, which would help me become the "top fan" for the group.

    If you need any incentive, if you vote and Marquette ends up winning the tournament, the top 80 fans of the team receive money (minimum of $1K each and up to $20K)

    Dan Fitzgerald is doing his best on Facebook to increase votes, but every vote helps.

    I talked to Fitz about it, said there are a lot of guys interested, they just need to get schedules worked out etc.

    Why doesn't MU push this out to their list?

    Bump.....we're down to 12th and only 2 votes up on 13th. We only have 288 total votes. I know our community is far larger than that.
