Can an athletic competition be understood as a form of applied math?

Can it be mastered that way?

This Friday and Saturday, April 15-16, UNC plays host to the Basketball Analytics Summit, bringing together experts in the analytic field to discuss the game of basketball in all its forms – from improving performance on the court to improving marketing techniques and the fan experience off the court. Ken Pomeroy – the analytics expert behind the KenPom rankings – will be there as a special guest speaker.

UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School professor Deborah Stroman is organizing the event. She discussed it on WCHL with Aaron Keck this week.

 

The Basketball Analytics Summit takes place at the McColl Building (home of the Kenan-Flagler Business School) and the Kenan Center (home of the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise).
