I’ll have a more detailed scouting report later. But Marquette coach Buzz Williams gave a pretty good on in this definition of “Marquette basketball”:

“You have to play the game the right way. I think the way that you do that, you get back on transition, you don’t give up easy baskets, you don’t give up baskets on out of bounds plays. You play every possession as if it’s the last.

Offensively you take the first best shot that you can take, never take a surprise shot that would surprise your teammates or surprise your coaches, you take shots that have been derived from getting to the paint, whether that be from the pass or the bounce.

And then defensively, you do everything that you can to keep the ball out of the paint, whether that be off the pass, off the bounce or off the shot.”
