1. Kansas #5 VS Duke #4
Breakdown Analysis
Samuel Yim

2. Duke: Good Offensive Plays
18:25 Duke
-Farside Duke Bigmen does a good job of drawing
out defenders so that there are less bodys in the
paint to help defend the rim
-A quick give and go is facilitated by an off ball
screen at the elbow right after the point guard
passes it
-#2 gets an easy lay-in
-Assist : #3
-Score: #2 (2 points)

3. Duke: Good Offensive Plays
11:13 Duke
-#1 does a good job of penetrating deep
towards the rim
-This forces the corner defender to sink in
more than he wants to allowing the corner
man to spot up for an easy catch and
shoot 3
-#0 on Kansas must recognize earlier that
the corner defender has left to help and
slide over sooner, this should cause a
team rotation cover all perimeter shots

4. Duke: Bad Offensive Plays
16:33 Duke
-Must do better in utilizing the
shot clock
-Chucks up 3 with 32 seconds left
on the shot clock
-Should reset and look for a
better shot

5. Duke: Bad Offensive Plays
14:05 Duke
-#5 on Duke must recognize
that both the on ball defender
and the screener's defender
have doubled him, meaning
that somebody on the court is
open
-If he moves the ball to the
trailer (screener) it leads to
an easy 2, rather he drivess
the ball and gets blocked
-Block leads to a fast break
(easy transition points)

6. Duke: Good Defensive Plays
18:42 KU
-Do a good job of screening both on ball
and away from the ball so that the
passer and receiver are open at the
same time
-Run another double on ball/ off ball pick
-Duke #21 does a good job of hedging on
the screen so that the on ball defender
has time to recover and then does
excellent job of recovering to his man
-On ball defender does a good job with
sticking with the ball handler
-Duke #1 must do a better job of not
getting blocked out so that he can slide
from the backside and help on the drive

7. Duke: Good Defensive Plays
13:10 KU
-Duke does a good job in trapping right out
of the on ball screen
-By double teaming they force an errant
pass by ball handler to big man
-#1 Duke does a good job of sliding from
the back side to at least let the big man
be aware of his presence
-#1 is only able to cheat and help out so
much because the backside defenders
do a good job of positioning themselves
so that the only open pass is to the far
side corner 3 (difficult pass)

8. Duke: Bad Defensive Plays
15:46 Duke (Inbounds play)
-Set on ball screen immediately after
inbound
-KU defenders do a poor job in defending
the pick and roll
-The screener's defender does not push
out hard enough on the hedge to force
the ball handler out, this leaves the on
ball defender very little time to recover
thus allowing for an uncontested drive
to the hoop by Duke #2
-Since they hedged instead of switching
the screener's defender drops to cover
the roll and leaves the driver
uncontested at the rim

9. Duke: Bad Defensive Plays
7:33 KU
-Entry pass once again forces double team
-Once the slide comes #5 Duke becomes to
worried about the now open #34 on Kansas
(open because his man slid)
-#5 Duke has two responsibilities: help on the
slider's man while keeping track of his own
-Takes care of first task, but ends up not
paying attention (keeping his head on a
swivel) on his original man
-#14 on Kansas sneaks to the corner for an
open catch and shoot 2 pointer
-Assist: #21
-Score: #14 (2 points)

10. Kansas: Good Offensive Plays
17:54 KU (Inbounds play)
-#25 does a good job of picking off-ball to
free up kansas players
-#1 on Duke slumps into the paint too much,
“over-helping” thus leaving an open skip
pass to the top of the key for an open 3
-Because #1 must recover he hurries back to
the open shooter, leaving kansas #34
open under the rim
-#5 Duke, must do a better job in sliding from
the backside to help on #34 kansas
-Assist : #1
-Score :34 (2 points)

11. Kansas: Good Offensive Plays
10:20 KU
-Perry Ellis #34 on Kansas does a good
job of hustling down the floor and
establishing a strong low position on
the block
-This allows for an easy entry pass
since there are less defenders, also
by starting the play so low on the
block allows for #34 to catch and
then make one strong dribble move
to the basket for an easy bucket

12. Kansas: Bad Offensive Plays
4:25 KU
-Kansas players look stagnant on this
offensive possession
-moved away from the simultaneous on
ball/ off ball screen to free up passes
-look to go inside to #34 kansas, but
duke does a good job of cutting off
the entry pass
-This forces #14 to handle the ball for a
long period of time (not a designated
ball handler), this kills the shot clock
-Thus forcing #1 to take a very difficult
contested layup above two duke
defenders

13. Kansas: Bad Offensive Plays
0:27 KU
-#21 Kansas gets the offensive rebound
-coach signals to run a play that allows them
to get last shot
-#21 sets a poor high on ball screen
-#0 needs to be more patient by allowing his
screener to get there so that he can brush
up against him shoulder to shoulder
relieving him of his defender
-by rushing he also does not waste the clock
(leaves 6.6 seconds) to get the last
possession of the half
-Duke draws a loose ball foul on the rebound
leading to foul shots for them because
they are in the bonus

14. Kansas: Good Defensive Plays
12:46 Duke
-Kansas #3 does a good job of funneling the
driver into the corner rather then allowing
him in towards the rim
-This allows for wiggins #22 to help inside
without too much extension, leading to his
ability to contest the corner 3 (gets a block)
-#0 does a good job of cutting off the first
pass, giving the driver only one outlet

15. Kansas: Good Defensive Plays
10:28 Duke
-#1 and #21 run a high pick and roll
-KU defenders do a nice job of recognizing
and as a team collapse into the paint,
forcing either a difficult shot inside or a
kick out
-Leads to a 4 on 1 inside and a block by
#21

16. Kansas Bad Defensive Plays
5:33 Duke
-Kansas does a poor job of positioning
themselves defensively
-#14 Kansas on the far side does a good
job of initially splitting his man and the
ball
-Once Jabari Parker #1 starts driving # 14
gets caught man watching when he
should be slumping inside the paint to
help
-#34 kansas just gets plain out beat
-#31 kansas is there for the slide but Jabari
makes a tough layup over him
-#14 loses his man behind him and fails to
effectively box him out this could have led
to an offensive rebound

17. Kansas Bad Defensive Plays
10:08 Duke
-#22 Kansas does a good job of sticking
with the driver on the play
-Off ball defenders must do a better job
of splitting their man and the ball, they
must keep their heads on a swivel
-#34 fails to do this and does not help on
the penetration leading to a collapse
near the rim by 2 defenders
(backslide) leaving #21 on duke wide
open under the hoop for an easy
catch and finish
