One thing that the NCAA Tournament shows us is that despite the old adage that defense travels a team without a solid offense is highly vulnerable in a tournament setting. It’s true that most teams tend to ratchet up the defensive pressure, the game typically becomes a more half court affair allowing defenses to set up and play the way they practice. The only real way to win games this late in the year is to be able to keep pace on the offensive. Teams must be able to execute and run their stuff, their sets. While most teams enjoy getting out in transition those opportunities tend to shrink as the year goes on.
