Let’s get this started by reminding everybody Marquette hasn’t won an NCAA Tournament game since 2013. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get down to business. According to a Dwight Schrute GIF that could mean anything source, it’s possible somebody from Marquette told Sam Dekker his athleticism wouldn’t translate well to the Big East.
I actually appreciate that comment because without the racial stereotype, Deceptive Speed would not exist.
Below is the Twitter exchange from Tuesday afternoon. Journalism ain’t dead yet.
Please tell me this was Marquette.

Safe to say Sam Dekker’s athleticism translated pretty well to the Big Ten where he will be remembered as one of the best Badgers ever, leading Wisconsin to 2 Final Fours and was a first round NBA Draft pick. And if you thought he didn’t already have it all, he and his wife dominate the karaoke scene.
Before this article ends, I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring up the fact Marquette hasn’t won an NCAA Tournament game since 2013.
