in a nutshell

they want super quick offense. not even really secondary. then it's based on soriano providing gravity in the paint. their roster has a lot of dnp's so late in the season, but they seem to be shunting corbello and pizone to the side. hahaha

defesnviely not the pressure guys we presume. they do play soft 94 feet often, using the second defender to trap at halfcourt periodically.

zone would go a long way against these guys.

outcome?

the johnnies narrowly. i think too much soriano and gtown's guard wont run the offense deep enough in shot clock to cause the sinking they give up shots with.

3 games




DePaul

pnr soruano who will dive to mid amd low post
soruano in trailer/tok action where he can shoot the mid
invert alexander and #2 a little



...zone periodically. owusu and 2 are shooters. 12 can mKe shots
...move ball and people
...understand it goes thru soriaono largely

def
m2m. sags after passes
...move ball and you can get shots
2 2 1 zone press trapping at half. can be more aggressive if no help
...clear but dont abandon
show with soruano
soriano will front post

butler

off
