offense

slower pace. walks ball up floor (vs marquette)

runs several flexes...including the circle flex. multiple people involved


===when they run the circle cut, switch them. of course communicate with either way. in flex, they don't seem to find shooters as much on deep perimeter...it gets bullock, diallo and others shots midrange in.

also runs other stuff: downscreens for lindsey, midrange posts for young...who will go over right shoulder/left hand...cartwright double high screens right to left where he comes off and scores or passes (he's a lefty that's fast with the ball)

lindsey will trail in transition. they go 4-1 high for isolation with watson

plays small a lot...young plays but they will go four guards in a heartbeat

what they do a good job of is exploiting mismatches.
=== stay attentive. this team doesn't skip as much as others, so lock in. still see ball and man though.

if mismatched, help and make provy guys decicde. cartwright is the only real pg, so make others decision makers. they generally only shoot, so wall up and get charges

i would go underscreens when possible...these cats want to get ball to cup or paint. the lindsey guy will pull, but in my opinion never really proves he's a good shooter. make him show it.


defense

hedge turn and recover on pick and roll

man primarily

2 3 matchup that looks kind of like man

===they are small down low...pound that. then kick out for wide open shooters. pound, pound, pound.

continue to run pickett in pick and roll. lindsey might not be able to guard him, and smaller players could get jumpers in their eyes.

of course continue to pick and pop. best offensive look imo.

vs the matchup...drive the caps...it's spread. find off skips or even replace...you might be able to shoot there too. guards and wings, get it done.
