Duke Men’s Basketball Team Used Tech That Most Other Teams Didn’t This Season

Apr 6, 2015; Indianapolis, IN, USA; The Duke Blue Devils celebrate beating the Wisconsin Badgers in the 2015 NCAA Men

The Champion Duke Blue Devils might have gone into March Madness with one of the best starting five in the game and one of the greatest coaches of all time, but their success can also be attributed to some useful technology.

STATS’s SportsVU is a system of six cameras and STATS proprietary software which calibrates and measures basketball players and the ball on an x and y plane. This allows Duke coaches to gather a stream of statistics based around speed, distance, player separation and ball possession.
