Texas Longhorns - Point Over - FastModel Sports

One of the things that Texas does best is simplicity. They have shot creators and playmakers surrounded by great positional length, and with the addition of elite level athleticism in Greg Brown they are even more versatile.
Shaka Smart's approach to offense in Austin has been predicated on spacing the floor wide, using middle and twisted ball screens with pogo stick big men who put pressure on the rim and let players go make plays.
They also place a premium on off ball cuts. The Longhorns do a great job of backdoor cuts if the defender loses sight of them while helping to stop dribble penetration.

- 5 will flash to the strong side elbow for the catch
- 1 will cut over the top and meet the weakside wing at the elbow. One will backdoor and one will pop behind the three.
- 5 can then chase into a ball screen, keep it and rack it himself, or look for cutters off ball. There is freedom in this phase of the offense
- The Longhorns utilize the single side bump, or shake up action on all two-side ball screens. This gives them 3pt looks off of post tags, re-driving opportunities, and deep post catch looks.
