Auburn went to this in the overtime of the Elite Eight game against Kentucky. The ram action helps free up the ball screener, so their defender is late on the ball screen defense. Jared Harper rejected the screen and beat Tyler Herro to the basket on this play. Check out the Final Four team breakdown on the Tigers below! See More

Information taken from YouTube video by Coachbase. This is the famous "Pack Line Defense" that Virginia uses to suffocate their opponents. The concepts are pretty simple: Never let the offense inside of the "post box," and never allow dribble penetration. Basically, if a team is to beat a well-disciplined Pack Line Defense, they're going to have to do it from the perimeter. The basic concept is that the ball handler faces pressure from his man, and everybody else is in "help," preventing dribble penetration. The exception to this is when a player is cutting off ball in the post area. Then the defender "attaches" to the cutter (once again trying to prevent post opportunities), only to release when the player goes back out to perimeter. Things to note: - Virginia in particular hard hedges and switches on every ball screen. This only works if you have defenders that can guard multiple positions, otherwise the offense has a mismatch to attack! - This offense is designed to allow the three-point shot, so a terrific three-point shooting team could beat this style of defense. Closeouts are SO IMPORTANT to make this defense work, otherwise perimeter-focused teams will drain shots all day. - NEVER LET THE BALL ENTER THE LOW POST. If it does, you double team immediately, and force a pass back to perimeter. - Once again, because this defense involves very aggressive help, it also involves a lot of closeouts. Having personnel with great length and foot speed is advantageous for this kind of defense. - An undisciplined version of this defense that gives up possessions in the "post box" is susceptible to giving up easy buckets. - It is important to "move on flight" of the ball when in help. If you wait until ball is in hands of offensive player, it is too late. Once again, anticipate and CLOSE. OUT. Click here for more Pack Line content on the FMS blog! See More

End of game sideline out of bounds from Auburn to get the ball in against Kentucky to go to the Final Four. Auburn didn't put anyone in the front court so they could get the ball to their point guard streaking up the sideline and dribble out the clock without any defenders in front of him.

Auburn ran this set in the OT of the Kentucky game to go to the Final Four. Auburn cuts everyone outside of the 3 point line to open up the lane. Jared Harper (player 1) does a great job of delaying and acting like he is not in the play before violently cutting to the basket for a layup. #FastModelMadness Blog Post: Final Four Team Breakdown - Auburn's Explosive Offense and Pressure Defense See More
