Mar
What We’re Seeing (and Why It Matters)
One thing that really stands out in this year’s March Madness is how the game continues to evolve:
Teams are more focused on creating advantages, not just running set plays or motion offenses
Offenses are focused on rim finishes and 3-point shots
Players are making quick decisions to keep and convert advantage situations
Michigan vs Alabama
Friday night features one of the most interesting match-ups of the tournament with some of the most efficient and best examples of modern offenses.
1-seed Michigan: 87.4 PPG (Top 10 nationally)
4-seed Alabama: 91.6 PPG (1st in the country)
Both teams rely on:
spacing
quick decision-making
creating and attacking advantages
Here’s what modern, high-level offense looks like (shot charts from Michigan and Alabama’s second round games):
