UCONN Last-Second Lob BLOB
The UConn women’s team ran this play several times at end-of-shot clock situations to get the ball going to the rim.
It’s a simple, but effective set that puts your best athletes in a position make a play.
Phase 1
- 5 sets a screen for 4.
- 4 cuts over the top of the screen looking for the lob.
- This is difficult to defend because if x5 just stands there, 4 will be open.
- If x5 helps, 5 might be available for a quick slip.
Phase 2
- After setting the screen for 4, 5 sets a screen for 2.
- 2 cuts hard to the corner - if they are open, 1 throws it to them for a very quick shot.
- After screening, 5 slips to the rim.
- If nothing is there, 1 should throw it up to 5 for a tip-in opportunity.
