Marquette Golden Eagles prepared to soar again

With Shaka Smart's recent contract extension, Marquette feels Golden Eagles basketball will continue to soar. "If you've reached a spot where you're really confident you've got the right person identified, you move on it. At least I believe that's the right thing to do. And in many ways? This was one of the easier decisions I think that I've had to make in my time here," Marquette Athletic Director Bill Scholl says. "Obviously went through a search two years ago. Blessed to have had Shaka come up through that search and take this job. And two years later you just feel even better about it all." Some feel MU would be even better if Olivier Maxence-Prosper hadn't declared himself for the NBA draft and gone to the Dallas Mavericks. Smart doesn't feel the same.
