Our Crowdfunding Groups
Supporting Huskies Invest is a key component to the success of the Northern Illinois University Men’s basketball program. Contributions directly aid the program in the pursuit of excellence by enhancing the video analysis and scouting capabilities.
Gifts to the Men's Basketball program during Huskies Invest support three vital areas:
1. HUDL Sportscode: This software is the backbone of our video analysis. It allows us to create scouting edits, practice edits, and highlight videos. We use it to record practices, games and more importantly, to teach our team through film. The app enables us to seamlessly share practices, games, and edits with our players, facilitating their growth.
2. Synergy Sports: This film exchange software is where we access opponent games. We can upload and download games with ease, providing valuable insights into our rivals’ strategies. We also have access to an extensive library of college, NBA, and FIBA National Team games. Synergy is invaluable for recruiting, allowing us to dissect a player’s performance quickly by pulling up their possessions, shot attempts, turnovers, and more. It’s a critical tool for evaluating high school prospects and college opponents.
3. Fast Model: This product is essential for creating scouting reports. It streamlines our preparation by automatically generating statistical output for opponent personnel, creating shot charts, and highlighting trends. Fast Model enables us to develop comprehensive strategies and make data-driven decisions.
Your support for Huskies Invest empowers us with the tools needed to stay at the forefront of basketball innovation, ensuring that our program remains competitive and successful. Together, we’re building a stronger and more agile NIU Men’s basketball team.
