About This Play/Drill

After we beat Wright State at their place this past Sunday they turned around and played Oakland at home on Wednesday.  Their roster has been depleted due to injuries and it’s forced them to run different stuff offensively.  Against us they ran a ton of movement based stuff where their wings curled off big screens and just played out of it.  With Oakland coming up on our schedule, next week Wednesday I looked at that game to see how they attacked them with their limited line-up.  Wright State has a freshmen #13 Benzinger that has really emerged during their latest stretch mainly because of how well he shoots the ball.  Him and their post player #14 Karena are their two top players so putting them in action together makes it difficult to defend.  You can see in the video those two essentially play a two man game in the middle of the floor.  Wright State did a good job of moving the other players around on the floor so the help side defenders couldn’t get settled in and move into gaps.
