Former Golden Eagles continue to represent Marquette University in the professional ranks around the world and some 2020-21 seasons have already started.
#1. Darius Johnson-Odom (6'2''-PG-89, graduated '12, plays pro in France) led Entente Orleans 45 to a victory over the closely-ranked Cholet Basket (2-0) crushing them 101-63 in the French Jeep ELITE ProA last Saturday. He was MVP of the game. Johnson-Odom recorded 27 points (!!!) and added 4 assists in 33 minutes. It was his first game for Entente Orleans 45 this season. His team is placed fifth in the Jeep ELITE ProA. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
 #2. Dwight Buycks (6'3''-PG-89, graduated '11, plays in France) was the major contributor in a JSF Nanterre's victory against the sixth-ranked Cedevita Olimpija (0-1) 80-76 in the Eurocup on Wednesday night.
