The Morning Fast Break (Nov. 11, 2016): It’s college basketball’s opening day!

Folks, we’ve finally made it.

College basketball starts today!

Here’s what’s going on in your favorite conference’s favorite conference.

Do you realize that we watched the fourth best freshman scoring season in Marquette history last season? Were you aware you saw the seventh best field goal percentage season by a Marquette freshman? Did you notice that you witnessed just the second season by a freshman with 100 made free throws? I ask these questions because none of these things apply to Henry Ellenson, who was selected #18 overall in the 2016 NBA Draft. No, these things apply to Haanif Cheatham, who is back for round two in blue and gold with the second best returning scoring average and the highest minutes played average.
