Friday's Player Thoughts from Joe Streator

I had to chuckle a bit reading that Buzz credited the defense for the nice victory. I don't know if the Eagles of Rock Hill South Carolina are supposed to be a scoring machine in the mighty Big South Conference, but I don't think giving up seventy-three points to them is something to be proud of; not to mention letting them hit forty percent of their three point attempts.

Marquette 95 Winthrop 73 from Al Kelly

I didn't know the broadcast was pay per view until game time when I went to watch the game. I spent the $4.99 and watched anyway. It was a really cheap broadcast with the audio feed coming from Homer and McIlvaine on the radio broadcast. No replays or any other bells and whistles. Video feed was OK but the camera work was all over the place. You didn't know the score unless Homer or Mac mentioned it or they showed the scoreboard during a time out. They did include a live stats page if you like that kind of stuff. The broadcast was not worth the price.

Here's the link to the Paradise Jam TV and live stream information. First game vs Winthrop will be available on a live stream to your computer. Semifinals and finals will be broadcast by Fox Sports Network on their regular FSN channel and FCS (Fox College Sports) channel. I don't know if it will be shown on their Wisconsin channel.

Marquette Starts a New Season from Joe Streator

Here we are 2-0 and what do we know about the team? Not much more than at the end of last year in my opinion but it's nice to see FT shooting get off to a good start. Let's hope there is no game under 70% this year.

It appears that DJO and Crowder have picked up from where they left off last year which is good. It sure would be nice if DJO has a season to make him a first round pick and that Crowder does enough to be picked in the second round.

It also appears Vander Blue has significantly improved from his terrible performance last year. If that proves true we are a big step closer to being REALLY good.
