Coaching Analysis of Thursday NCAA Men’s Tournament Games
Today we kick off the NCAA Tournament with the First Four Games to advance to the 64 team bracket.
Here is a breakdown of what you can expect:
Texas Southern vs. Mount St Mary’s
Texas Southern likes to play up-tempo and attack in transition using lots of ball screens to create an advantage.
On Defense you can expect Texas Southern to be ready to stop the pick and roll. Here is a clip of Texas Southern Coach Brandon Chambers sharing his philosophy on Pick and Roll coverages.
Mount St Mary’s is a contrast in styles of play from Texas Southern –they like to slow you down and grind it out in the half court.
Coach Rad Blocker Mover offense sits 356th in adjusted tempo, just ahead of Virginia for the slowest in Div. I.
Drake vs. Wichita State
Drake ranks No. 303 in the country in three-point rate, but still has the 19th-best offense on KenPom’s adjusted efficiency rankings because it makes 54.4% of its two-point shots — the 29th-best mark in the country.
So you will see Drake run some of the BLOBs to get high percentage shots. Here are 7 looks out of a "Wide Box" alignment.
Wichita state likes to play uptempo and shoot 3’s in transition. The team shoots 36.6% from deep this season.
Appalachian State vs. Norfolk State
In this game be on the lookout for App State offensively looks to open gaps, use ghost screens and will attack you offensively all night.
Norfolk state coach will be ready. Coach Robert Jones thrives in pressure games, if you remember he beat #1 seed Alabama in 2019 NIT as a #16 seed. If the App State coaches are wise, they will avoid zone defense as Coach Jones knows how to defeat a zone defense.
Hope you didn’t miss Coach Jones at the Summit where he shared 9 Half-Court Zone Plays and 1 Out of Bounds Play you need to know to easily defeat a zone defense. He explains that Ball and Body Movement are the most important things to break the zone defense. He wants to make sure you get the defense moving in order to easily get the zone out of position and even collapse.
Here he show what he calls “Flash”
