Marquette hires Texas hoop coach
MILWAUKEE — Shaka Smart is leaving Texas to coach Marquette.
Marquette announced the hiring Friday. It comes a week after Marquette fired Steve Wojciechowski and Smart’s Texas team was upset 53-52 by Abilene Christian in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Smart, who turns 44 on April 8, will be formally introduced at a Monday news conference.
