[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 300395, member: 2784"] Question for you. If you had better athletes who were more skilled offensively than your opponents why would you want to slow things down and run very defined half court plays? Seems to me I would want to push the ball, take advantage of my athleticism advantage and pressure the other team with speed as much as I could. Just seems logical to me. For both UK and UNC. FWIW both of them run reasonably structured secondary break patterns that balance the floor, have defined roles/spots for players to go and a basic pattern for ball movement looking for a good shot or drive. UNC is famous for their secondary break which is what they are running most of the time. If you watch they reverse the ball to the other side of the court more than most any other team deep in the tourney. KY runs a 5 out system out of their break focused almost entirely on their guards being able to break down their defender. They were running that set all second half which is what caused Roy to go zone for a brief while just to get a break from the matchups. It isn't Duke running set plays to get Reddick a shot off of 4 distinct picks but there is more structure in both teams than you are giving credit for. [/QUOTE]
