At Illinois Tech, data analytics play big part in basketball team's successQuote:
Kelly's lightbulb moment led him to professor Shlomo Argamon and students Denis Bajic and Larry Layne in Argamon's master of data science program who dedicated their summer practicum to basketball analytics.
The result? The Scarlet Hawks have a 17-5 record.
It doesn't take a mathematician to calculate that's a major improvement over last season's 4-21 mark or the 2-23 record they posted in 2014-15, Kelly's first season. The season before that, IIT went 0-25.
Does anyone have knowledge of any of our sports programs using analytics involving students or outsourcing?
My son is pursuing a Data Science career and will be starting his 2nd year at A&M. Are there any projects he can help with?
