The Shaka Smart era is officially underway as the Marquette men’s basketball team defeated Bowie State 98-40 in an exhibition Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum.
“This is just the first step for us. Obviously, the competition ramps up from here, but I thought our guys did a really good job of trying to execute our game plan offensively and defensively, and we shared the ball relatively well,” Smart said.
