Marquette vs. Winthrop: The Old School Viewing Alternative

As you've probably heard, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles are currently en route to the U.S. Virgin Islands to take part in this weekend's Paradise Jam.  And as you also might've heard, tomorrow's opening contest -- against the Eagles of Winthrop -- isn't available on any American television outlets -- not ESPN, not FOX Sports, not Time Warner Cable 32, not TNT, not NatGeo, not even Vs.

That, of course, leaves you, the loyal Marquette fan, in something of a pickle: you want to do everything you can to support your team from afar, but the game can be difficult to follow online, and, if Uncle Homer has found his way into St. Thomas' ample rum reserves, following on the radio might be a bit of a chore, too.

But fear not: your friends at Anonymous Eagle are here to help.

Since this game is apparently being played in 1957, we've tapped into some 18th century technology to help you keep track of the action on the court tomorrow: the battlefield map.  With the use of our custom-designed map below, you can follow the game play much like George Washington kept abreast of the relative position of the armies during the Revolutionary War.

Don't thank us. We're just doing our part.

I'm changing my mind about the Kraken and Jae.

Upon further reflection, given the length of the Kraken’s tentacles, it’s clear that the Kraken on Marquette’s roster is Jamil Wilson.

I apologize to everyone.

This non-television thing is a head scratcher

I just witnessed 24 HOURS of basketball from all over the map, yet we can’t get a daytime game from the virgin isles? Esp when the semi’s and finals will be aired on Sunday(competing with NFL) and Monday (again….competing with the NFL).

The problem is

ESPN owns most of the early season tournaments they air.

Its probably because the Paradise Jam field is so unassuming and besides us, there are no really "standout" teams

Hence, little coverage. I cant think of any of the low-hype tournaments in the early season that are getting some TV coverage. I heard some stuff saying the weekend games will be on Fox College Sports/Fox Sports Network??

Possibly.

As long as they win, from what I understand.

Yeah funny thing about that....

I’m guessing that ESPN doesn’t own the rights considering I was looking at their “Tourney Preview” article yesterday, and the Paradise Jam didn’t even get a mention amongst the others.

I think this gets funnier every time i see it

The only thing missing is Buzz as Captain Jack Sparrow.

We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.
