We like our Brew hot ‘n’ fresh, but we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

As the sport continues to evolve, more and more basketball programs are employing analytics as a resource. At UVA, head coach Ryan Odom’s staff includes Matt Hart, the program’s director of analytics. Hart held that position at VCU until this spring, when he followed Odom from Richmond to Charlottesville.

“What you measure, you can improve,” Odom said. “I think that’s the biggest lesson. If you measure it, you can get better at it. And so I think that’s the primary focus for us. We want to try to use these numbers to help our guys individually improve and use the numbers to help our team overall improve.”
