SB transition from Defense to offense was great. Also, which I could never figure out in women’s game why more teams don’t do it, SB destroyed SC from attacking from behind the cage. SB ball movement was fast. A zone can’t keep up with it. Against zone the key is ball movement.

If you have good attackers, bring it behind and cut. Simple draw and dump. Hard to cover a cutter in girls game based on rules, and hard to stop someone one on one without help. So if you have no help defense because defender is covering cutter it opens up 1v1 with defender. Two options tough to stop. Boys game does it all day long. Teams better prep for SB behind goal attack as not many teams do this, or have attackers that can do it in college game now. All I see is attacking from up top.


Agree. Will also add you should be attacking from all over the field (behind, wing, corners, top etc...). spacing, off ball movement and timing must be coordinated in order for offense to be effective against good team defense. One on one dodging with off ball players getting in the way will not work. Standing still trying to feed is also ineffective and will result in unforced turnovers.

Stony Brook clearly the better coached team.
