Let's talk about Big East champion Marquette (03.03.2023)
Mar 04, 2023, 04:29 AM
This isn't an episode about the Milwaukee Bucks, but it is about another big Milwaukee basketball story. Host JR Radcliffe and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Ben Steele chat about the Marquette men's team, which went from picked ninth in the preseason to outright champion in the Big East Conference. What's made Shaka Smart so effective in his second season, even without liberal use of the transfer portal this year? Can he win national coach of the year? Why has the team risen above expectations? What makes them a tough out in the tournament, and what makes them vulnerable? Both Marquette and the Bucks play at home Saturday, so expect a fun doubleheader of Cream City hoops.
