Marquette basketball coach Shaka Smart and president Mike Lovell generously treated students to complimentary breakfast on the first day of the academic year. Despite the Golden Eagles’ struggle in the first round of the Maui Invitational, they rose up from a 12-point deficit in the game against UCLA with a remarkable 17-0 run. This win sets them up for an exciting showdown next with No. 1-ranked Kansas. Smart acknowledges the growth of their sophomore class as crucial to last-minute plays that secured their victory. And with this triumph, MU’s prospects are indeed looking up. Ahead is another highly anticipated game against Kansas that promises to be an elite basketball contest.
