The play starts with two players crisscrossing each other to opposite sides of the floor.

Sanago sets a slight pin down right for #3 Joey Calcaterra, and then immediately ducks in his man.

The goal of the play is go right inside to their big man; Sanogo off hi-low action with a wrinkle.

It's a very popular play to get the big man the ball in the middle third of the court.

2.  Tons of Stagger Screens

UConn uses a lot of off-ball screening action in their offense.

In their transition offense, they almost always start their possessions with staggered screens.

They use a ton of sets that they get into if the stagger doesn't immediately get them a shot.

3.  Fantastic Ball Movement & Player Movement in their set plays

They love to start out with a staggered screen on one side immediately followed by a staggered screen on the other side.

This is great action!

They disguise their set plays very well.  Most of their stagger series is run off counters.

You will notice that the last two plays look very similar, but with different results.

We have taken 124 sets like the three above from the Huskies championship season and created this resource for you.
