Watch this 2022/23 Florida Atlantic team to learn floor spacing, ball movement, and offensive execution.

What a joy to watch. They're very well coached.

Yes but I love SDSU offensive rebounding more.

Offensive rebounding is great, when you have 2 or 3 guys who are really good at it. If you don't have those guys, and you still try to hang your hat on it, you end up like PSU the last couple of years. If you send more than two guys to the offensive glass, you had better get that rebound or the other team will be cramming it down your throat on the other end of the floor. If you don't have the horses, you are better off getting back to play defense. Same thing goes for pressing for TOs.

It will be interesting to see how SDSU does against the tall timber of UConn. I feel that UConn is a very good defensive rebounding team. UConn also seems to have a lot of depth in their post players.

A secondary aspect about UConn's defensive rebounding is how quickly they transition into a multi-pronged offensive attack (I noted several early O sets used effectively to dismantle Gonzaga) ... one of the best I've seen.

From coaching and learning perspectives, the NCAA tournament is terrific to watch. The teams that consistently execute on offense and defense are the successful ones.

UCONN doesn't have a weakness and have a lot of depth.
I expect a double figure difference for them in the championship. One of the best tournament runs I've seen.
 
I'm not saying that Xs and Os are not important. However, it is my opinion that it is far more important who you have to execute those plans. Early O is a prime example. You have some basic strategies for what should happen, but it always turns out to be created, on the fly, by the guys on the floor, and not by the suits on the bench. Sometimes it is a thing of beauty and sometime not so much. Usually, the early O thing only lasts a few seconds and then the ball is brought back out to run a play of some sort. There is always a bit of player initiative in set plays as well. Good basketball, with good players, is just like that. Good players make good plays and good plays make good coaches.

IMHO anyways. :thumb:
 
UCONN is bigger, has better scorers and shooters, and deeper. Only chance SDSU has is to make the game very ugly, or have a fluke shooting night.
