Excellent article on video/analytics.

Who is that guy staring at an iPad on Marquette's bench during games? Meet Shaka Smart's director of video and analytics

Smart is too busy to look at clips during timeouts. Instead, he just gets a quick look at a traditional box score.
"I look at the plus-minus," Smart said. "It's just a snapshot, but just an indication of how we did when a guy was in the game. I look at assists, and then I look at certain things from the other team that we're trying to take away."


"Last game, (Creighton's Baylor) Scheierman was obviously killing us, you don't need numbers to tell you that he was hurting us," Mulry said. "But just in the halfcourt we were so good defensively in the first half and transition was the issue.
"Even if we're able to give a number, to point that out to our guys that, hey, in the halfcourt, we don't even need to tell them the number but you can see right on the page, hey, they're 0.86 points per possession in the halfcourt, we're doing great there. We just need to keep doing that, keep them out of transition, make them play against our set defense. If we can do that, we'll be in great shape in the second half."

Assistant Coach Mark Dixon says "...so there's some times when you have to use the scoop." (And he wasn't talking about a pooper scooper.)

I knew someone was listening to all of us!

Great article.  This is the first time I've witnessed the city embracing Marquette in this way.  As a visual example, the lighting of the bridge blue and gold after last year's Big East tourney championship. 

I think it is really cool that Shaka has emphasized this and that the basketball program is driving deeper ties with Milwaukee.

Great article. I think it is awesome the impact that Shaka and the program has on the city of MKE. I love seeing our guys being part of the community and making a difference. Not breaking news, but Shaka is the real deal!!

A FL Gator sports podcast - In All Kinds of Weather - had one of their hosts, Neil Blackmon, say that he got a text from the beat writer of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel who said that if MU plays FL that MU will lose by 15 points. I assume he was referring to Ben Steele? Came at the 30:30 mark on the podcast on 3/19/24.
