Video Breakdown: Xavier Preview (Their Deadly Transition Offense)

[McLovin]

Hey everyone, wanted to share the Xavier game tape breakdown with y'all.

Specifically I dig into what makes their "middle third" attack so dangerous in transition and a few ways we can beat their defense, which has been good but not great this year.

As always, feedback is welcome. Hope this helps!



I will have the game notes in Google Sheets ready in the AM for anyone who wants them.

Boum might be the best portal pickup in college this year. And we have some great pieces.

Boum has been fantastic and Miller has turned Kunkle back into the weapon he was at Belmont.

Fantastic stuff. Look forward to seeing more in the morning. Our offensive efficiency will be very important. If we score they can’t be as effective with the break

Starting to look forward to these each game. Clear, concise breakdowns, and getting better each time with more film available. Appreciate the work!

Nice job with the video. We're also excellent in transition for many of the same reasons. Hawkins' "spot" on the left wing in transition is just absolutely lethal. He basically shoots it before he looks at the basket. But the key is our guards find him there consistently.

Newton and Jackson are both really good at driving across the middle in transition and at making live dribble cross court passes, which often leads to an open Karaban or Hawkins 3 from the opposite wing/corner.
