This video by Jordan on Cornell's offense perfectly encapsulates what I love about college basketball scheming, and I highly suggest you watch it if you like that too.
Cornell was the first offense since 1998 to average 1.2 pts per poss in Ivy League play NEW video breaking down their 5-out/DHO based offense youtu.be/tNz5bTCVlPk?si=L2YF…

Michigan went under the majority of Arizona's ball screens last night. It led to a season-high 22 off-the-dribble jumpers for the Wildcats I wrote about the Michigan gameplan hoopvision.substack.com/p/th…

Saint Mary's going under ball screens in the 2019 WCC finals against the Mark Few/Tommy Lloyd system xitter.cf/hoopvision68/status/11…
St Mary's gameplan last night was to be passive in their ball screen coverage. They dropped the big back and forced Gonzaga guards to score. They also went under on Norvell all game. He's now 21-56 (51 eFG%) on jumpers off the bounce in the halfcourt.
