T.J. Marion has been a team player his entire life. It is no wonder his success has translated this season for the junior guard. Marion, who has played on suc cessful teams, has helped the play ers around him improve as well. And that's something that the Eastern men's basketball team is benefitting from this season. In the Panthers' 83-63 victo ry against Southeast Missouri on Saturday, Marion finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a steal. On Jan. 5, he added 13 points, five rebounds, two steals and an assist in a loss against Tennessee Tech. "He's a team player, he's done everything that we've asked him to do as a coaching staff," assistant coach Chrys Cornelius said. "He has been a team player all of his life from high school all the way to EIU." Marion, a 6'4" 195-pound guard, displayed his talents at Southeastern Illinois College for the past two seasons and helped the Falcons win an NJCM Region 24 Championship during his soph omore year and advance to the sec ond round of the NJCM National Tournament. KARLA BROWNING I THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS Junior guard T Marion does everything for the Panthers. He is second on the team in points this season.
