ok, here you go...
they are a perimeter team, one big. who key attack off the bounce. to me, defending that has been a glaring hoya issue, on/off ball and in help. see md, arkansas st, ok state, all losses.
a scrappy, undersized crew the explorers are.
like four around one, iso for littles. also a lot of pick and roll, high screen middle action for price and roberts. they will even go little/little pick and roll, if i remember correctly.
man to man defenders, quick with the ball
hoya responses:
have to pound it down low. villy really didn't/couldn't do that. they will swarm bigs, so REPOST is a must. pound them.
i would play a lot of zone until they shoot me out of it. mix defenses yeah, but start out with a lot of zone.
i would nominally press these guys. they have multiple ball handlers and it puts pressure on defenses.
in man vs. pick and roll...go over the screen...bigs zone. make them hit him rolling.
if they go small/small pick and roll, and it's due to playing four guards and one big, that forward had to hard hedge and hoyas MUST cover that in help. communication is key.
if they are swarming around, the ball must jump. hoyas can't consistently beat them off bounce imo. maybe peak, but who else? jump the ball and the defense will be done. interestingly enough villy went to a lot of man to man offense, and scored. don't think the hoyas can really do that.
pound them. kick out off posts, but pound them. make them suck in and respect that. i can see them allowing one on one coverage inside. gotta make them pay.
