niv!
Shalom Mr. Berkowitz. Welcome to Marquette. Meet Mustafa Shakur, Salim Stoudamire and Hassan Adams.Niv Berkowitz, son of Israeli hoops legend Mickey Berkowitz, plans to suit up for the Marquette Golden Eagles this year after notifying the school of his intentions Monday. The 18-year-old, who has already received a deferral from the IDF for his military service, still must pass either the ACT or SAT college entrance exam and would not be eligible to study or play before the school's second semester. His first game would be Marquette's 10th of the season on December 18 against Arizona.
Berkowitz will back up Travis Diener in the Golden Eagles' game against the 'Cats. A pleasant trial by fire.
