Any GM's yet?
Jason Young I remember hearing about how your school website shut down after this dub lol
I live right next to umbc
I think the Swim is also good too. Now the basketball team is average again.
Just shows how much basketball progressed, even best players can't win with traditional playstyle against disciplined new school team, as shown by triangle offense in new era
In all fairness, I don't think the failure of the triangle in NY was so much the triangle but the fact that the players weren't bought in. 'Melo absorbs possessions like a black hole eating space debris. Plenty of teams (including GS) run parts of the triangle successfully. With the right personnel and willingness, I think it'd still have legs.
Grillmachine00 warriors run triangle sets
parts of triangle, exactly. It has evolved into being a part of much more complex and effective offense, thus why vanilla triangle can not suffice in modern basketball, even with better players
Suzy Virginia was the unanimous #1 basketball team at the end of the season after being preseason unranked. De’Andre Hunter, UVa’s only NBA prospect and one of their best offensive players got injured the game before this and it messed up Virginia’s entire rhythm. If you think Virginia is horrible, support your statement.
Suzy UVA went out with the least amount of losses of any team in college basketball
5:35 "it looks like he's stuck in nba 2k CHEESE" LMAO Coach Nick you watch Chris Smoove too? lol
Haha yup!

This game was a simple case of outsmarting your opponent. UMBC didn't beat Virginia with athleticism...they beat them with smart playcalling and forcing Virginia out of their comfort zone. UMBC completely deserved and EARNED this win.
they also almost beat Kansas state which was a more physcial team just proves how good that coach is
All they did was either run straight to the basket or shoot open 3's from 3 feet behind the arc
Well Said Real Talk Period.
Andrew Furrer I mean it’s not like duke or unc had athleticism’s that year
Athleticism
this might actually be one of your best videos imo, great job on this, learned alot
Wow, THX!!
the music in description is wrong
profezmo plop
But a significant portion of it was wrong
virginia had an injured player, and was not expected to make it past the sweet 16 after that
the year after once they had him back, they won the championship
Not the only time the Cavaliers are gonna get upset this year 😂
Thomas T not really gonna be an upset unless it's the raptors or something.
in round 1
Eric Harris i just want to see lebr- i mean the cavs in the playoffs. we all know how good he is in the playoffs. with that being said, raps are looking so nice.
Eric Harris he said the cavs will lose in round 1
There's nothing to upset about them this year
Had no idea basketball was this much of a mind game
its all about strategy in most sports, thats why usually a team with all superstars who don't play well together will usually never end up winning. probably like duke this year; they almost lost to ucf, probably won't end up winning
@@wallj8720 u were right
@@TheKabukimono haha yep
Virginia broke down mentally in the second half and gave UMBC easy buckets every time down
American football has crazy strategy and people think football players are dumb
The D'Antoni brothers must be thrilled.

Looooool 5.30 when you say he looks like he's stuck in an NBA 2k game 😂😂
🤣😂
Man like 5:30
lol this 'outdated' defense just won the whole championship.
Refs rigged THREE games, this championship should get forever lost.
u should do this for all upsets and nba playoff upsets
Bon Futur too many this year 😂. But definitely for the Nevada game and the cincy game
Would love to see a video of what made Virginia so successful during the regular season. Or why top acc teams couldn't exploit these weaknesses
This is just my opinion but guys like Coach K and Roy Williams play a different style than these mid major teams. They are not the run and gun team like UMBC. Duke played a lot through the post this year, which UVA feasts on. UNC doesn't have the shooters outside of a couple guys. Ryan Odom is a younger coach who probably wants to play that uptempo style and shoot from outside.
UVa’s biggest weakness would be through their loss of their only true NBA prospect, De’Andre Hunter, to a wrist fracture the game before this. Its safe to say it impacted the team morale and nobody knew how to play together after that.
They weren’t really a scoring team but a defensive team. They would score every so often but they wouldn’t let the other team score. So they’d essentially just beat them with their defense. Starve them of any points. No one knew how to beat their defense at the time. This team had a high ball IQ and figured it out and exposed them and UVA didn’t know what to do. It was just chaos.
Probably paid the NCAA
Andy Gygi I was making a joke r/woooosh
Though it ruined my bracket, I loved watching this team even though I still can’t remember their name
I just call them the Baltimore County Good Bois

These guys were America's Cinderellas!
update: I would say Saint Peter's getting to Elite 8 is the new biggest shocker of all time in the tournament
Yep
@Ek nah, Saint Peters making it to elite 8 was because Saint Peters was really good, FDU beat Purdue because Purdue's entire offense runs off Edey kicking out to the perimeter if he can't make the shot himself, and Purdue's perimeter went like 5 of 24 or something horrible like that
UMBC scored just as much in the second half as UVA did the entire game.
Awesome video coach. I think once the result was in the books, many people were wondering whether this blowout was due to a abnormally hot shooting streak or just straight up overconfidence/laziness on the part of virginia. Great to see that it was actually a triumph of modern basketball principles, coaching and execution rather than a lucky win.
kite0impulse I think it was a combination of all three
+kite0impulse I’m biased as a Virginia fan, but I honestly think that one of the biggest factors in this upset has to be the “abnormally hot shooting streak” that you mentioned. UMBC shot 68% in the second half after the game was tied at halftime. Not many opposing teams are going to be able to win when that happens. (Of course, some of the things that UMBC and Virginia did during the game contributed to the great shooting performance - but a large part of it is just that shots were falling.)
brendan95delany 68% is definitely a high percentage but its not necessarily abnormal considering how umbc were consistently getting open, in rhythm shots. Theres definitely some good fortune involved with the number of makes but its not like they were winning off circus shots and contested fadeaway 3s
kite0impulse it was lucky
+kite0impulse Oh, for sure. Virginia’s poor playing very clearly helped UMBC. But imagine if UVA had actually played good (or at least decent) defense. With how well UMBC was shooting to begin with, I’d guess that their second-half shooting percentage would still be around 50%, if not higher. Sometimes, when a team is shooting really well, it just doesn’t matter how the defense plays. To me, this felt like that kind of game - Lyles’ off-balance 3-pointer after the intentional foul towards the end of the game really solidified my point of view.
Put our school on the MAP #SeeOurChessTeam
That's the only reason I had heard of that school previously. It's dominant chess program.
yessssss i go to the umbc basketball camp it is great
damn I didn't know you guys had a great chess team. My school just took home the title #UTRGV

STAND UP
Dunk24 I’m from Harford county, but my dad went to UMBC so we were thrilled to say the least
Who cares they won in 2019? This will live down in history as a moment of glory for UMBC and absolute embarrassment for Virginia.
Salty much?
No, just spitting facts. There have been like 80 national champs but only 1 of these
Agree but it does make their championship story better too
Alejandro Proskauer refs handed them the semi final
Loved the intro
Also I really like UMBC's 5'8 PG
So if Virginia's offense is so rote and their defense is so bad, how did they make it to the number 1 seed?!
Spikezx7 Good players?
Spikezx7 Nobody knew how to exploit their defensive. If you look at their games the scores are relatively low. They can’t score but their opponents couldn’t score enough. They just happened to run into a team with high bball IQ. 🤷🏾♂️
Their defense! But I need to look into what they did in regular season since it’s hard to believe they weren’t beat more often
As a UVA fan I'd be very interested in this analysis. Obviously in the video the concepts look dated and foolish, but UVA has won a lot of basketball games the past few years using the same concepts. Can it work? Or does Tony Bennett need to update his system? Thank you!
BBALLBREAKDOWN I'd love to get a mini follow up on what was different. maybe not a full video, but like 3 or 4 minutes explains the differences.
Awesome break down and music to go along.

Question. Whats the point of allowing middle penetration? I was always taught by coaches force them baseline and use the sideline and baseline as extra defenders... doesnt middle penetration make your defense collapse and leave open shooters or lanes to cut? It seems strange a top college coach is teaching his team to let the offense collapse their defense.
The thinking behind allowing middle is to funnel drivers into a lot of help down in the lane Virginia was really good at helping and then helping the helper with close outs all year to repeat this cycle. UMBC attacked it well by penetrating middle followed by a pass to beat a close out and Virginia ran out of help and extended their defense more and more as UMBC continued to make threes. That's the idea behind Virginia's defense (which still allowed 53 ppg in the ACC and shut down Duke pretty well) and how UMBC was able to make it moot with their middle penetration and corner 3's without help
They try and position the help there but with the spacing that offenses have now you’re just asking to get into foul trouble and/or give up open 3s
im pretty sure coach nicks point about allowing middle penetration is, dont allow middle penetration
James Sarmiento my high school coach’s reasoning(we did force middle on drives) was that basically we relied on help defense to stop drives as opposed to shot blockers(aka force sideline to a shot blocker)
ah I see thank you every body. thank you all for being respectful and informative like normal humans. #ImIn
Man,having lived in Virginia my whole life this really was a big upset for me.
Anyone here after SFA beat No. 1 Duke?
They almost beat Kansas State too!!
In this age of hot takes, I appreciate this thorough breakdown of the nuts and bolts of what went wrong for VA. Congrats to UMBC on their historic win.
He keeps bashing Virginia's defence while they are the number one defending team in the nation. I understand that their defence did not work in this game, but it seemed to work the rest of the year. I don't think I would call it out dated quite yet.
On the day of this game, I told my uncle, when we were filling out our brackets, that a 16 seed had never beaten a 1. Well, you know how that went down...
The coach’s name is Ryan Odom not Dave Odom
Maybe you will do FDU-Purdue. That would be Fairleigh Dickinson of you. 😁
Nah, Virginia vs. Chaminade back in ‘82. Chaminade was a NAIA team, similar to a division 3 college.
I watched this game, and I was just waiting for Virginia to burn 'em. I couldn't believe it. GG UMBC.
4 years later the intro still gives me chills
And win the national championship the next year
I cant be the only one who saw “The Biggest Upset in Nigga History”
Who's watching after Virginia win the 2019 tournament
Well now UVA just won it all...
Time to breakdown FDU vs Purdue in 2023
I dont watch college basketball, and wondering how Virginia is a one seed
Virginia had the fewest losses of any team in the entire country this season. Were ranked 1 in defense. Beat a slew of powerhouse programs such as Duke, Unc, Fsu. Played in the hardest basketball conference, the ACC. They lost because they lost one of their most dynamic and impactful players to a wrist injury the game before and simply got outcoached and outplayed by UMBC while still disoriented from the injury.
They had the best record in the ACC, which is the best conference in the country, had the least amount of losses and had the best defense ever
I wish Studio Analysts broke down this game in a similar fashion as opposed to saying""...UVA wasn't used to playing uncomfortable..they never tried to play fast...".
YES
At some point, specifically halftime, both the players and the coaches at UVA just gotta sit down and reflect. We are 3,4,5 star recruits. We should not lose this game . They should trash whatever game plan they had and HOOP. Props to UMBC for coming with major energy. Baltimore was lit
who's here after they won the whole thing
This game was 4 years ago to the day. Now, we're one day away from the tournament starting, Rutgers is playing Notre Dame in the last First Four game. Virginia failed to make the tournament, Baylor is looking to repeat, and Gonzaga is still trying to get their first.
GO PEACOCKS
I'd say they deserved it.
Then they started Fortnite dancing.
UVA played like garbage against UMBC and deserved to lose.
But the packline works - at least in college. There's a reason UVA had a better adjusted defensive efficiency entering the tournament this year than any other team in the past two decades. It's because UVA plays defense really really well and the packline works.
It may not work in the NBA where everyone can drive and shoot, but it definitely works in college
Cavfan22 It’s not their defense that is the problem in my humble opinion. It’s the offense. If the Cavs get down by 10 or so, they’re done.
more college ball breakdowns, please
Why are they allowing middle?
That’s where they think the help is
NBA defense I think predicate on not allowing middle because it leaves too many options but in college they might be more keen to allow it because players arent mature enough as playmakers to make the correct read with whomever sends help
Thanks for clearing that up. I've always been taught to deny middle so this was a head scratcher for me.
WildDanHibiki it's dumb to allow middle I was always taught force sideline baseline and step on line and use baseline as another defender
The point of the packline is for everyone to collapse on the middle when someone drives and force a turnover. Worked pretty well until this game.
Time for an update: 2023 FDU
Coach I love your videos and analysis but it just felt a bit "cheap" to trash them both on offense and on defense over one terrible game when they were the unequivocal best team in college the whole year, going from unranked to overall #1 in all rankings........ coach bennett did an outstanding job with these kids no one knew before and may even have a few draft steals in there, just like he did with brogdon... anyhow, they played terrible on their first game, deserved to lose and i guess coach will have a bunch of notes on preparing mentally and tweaks on offense and into the pack line D. I'm IN though..
I hear ya, but I’ve been complaining about both movers and blockers and pack like for a while so it wasn’t something out of the blue for me
I heard your recent podcast and your guest made a good point on the fact that their circular, predictable, grinding offense fits well with their defensive goal of milking the clock. I agree, it's not pretty, but their whole point is to be very patient and slow in pace. That, in and of itself, is not very antiquated even in the age of super high pace - just look at how the Jazz have been establishing their style. But I totally give it to you that teams will use this game as a template for playing Virginia in the future, although to me (and again here I agree with your guest) this was mainly a case of mental meltdown. On another note, would you make a breakdown of the 3-2 zone, which has had an incredible year with Duke adopting it almost exclusively and with Syracuse again wreaking havoc in the tournament? Maybe after their matchup, which will probably be a shooting and high-post contest.
Was at this game and UVA did reach a bunch when we started in transition and got a couple of easy baskets that way. You aren't going to beat too many teams when they shoot that well from 3 tho.
ACC teams relied on star power, duke an UNC mainly.
Small ball rules!
My friend picked them for his bracket as a joke 😳
U can beat good teams with Virginia’s defense, but u have to know when to change your defense to something more modern
Nope, this is not the biggest upset in NCAA history.The biggest upset happened in 1982, when UVA was ranked #1 NCAA D1 in the country and lost to Chaminade an NAIA school in a tournament in Hawaii.
How can you say Virginia’s playing style is bad. They just had one bad game. There in the final four this year. Shit happens it doesn’t mean there playing style is bad. Virginia is so fired up and motivated from this lose there going to win it all this year. Just watch.
Completely agree on the offense although the blazers have run a lot of blocker mover stuff for dame and cj, defensively I disagree most of what I saw was dont high hedge the ball screen and there is nothing that says you must high hedge in packline. We run packline and have the big in the catch position. On the middle drives I saw no defenders in their gap which does make middle drives killer. And you dont help as in double team on middle drives, its a stunt and recover. Even no middle teams sometimes still give up middle anyways. Virginia has had one of the best 3pt% def since tony has been there. I don't think one loss however great overwrites all of virginias track record with packline.
And u said UVA couldn’t do it with our style
I’m a Virginia fan, and I obviously hate this game, but I think we wouldn’t have won the next year if it wasn’t played.
Biggest upset since the Hawaii classic in the early '80s when Chaminade beat, well...
Every time I see this thumbnail I always think it says nigga instead of NCAA 💀
As a big Arizona fan, I would love break down of Arizona vs Buffalo. Does Sean Miller’s slow paced offense create good looks or should a team that athletic be running in transition?
This is why Villanova would beat the shit out of Virginia. Virginia’s defense can’t hang with Nova’s isolation game, drive and kick, and Villanova’s deadly open shooters. Nova clearly the superior team.
Michael Jackson Studios 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think it would probably be an even matched game if it would have happened, which it did last year and Virginia’s defense dominated and eventually they lost on a buzzer beater the nations best offense vs the nations best defense sounds like a good game
UVA and Nova had played the previous two years, and split those games, with Virginia's loss to Nova being on a tip-in. It is true that a hot-shooting spread offense can cause issues for the packline, but even spread college offenses rarely outexecute Virginia. I do think the mover-blocker offense should be used less with Virginia's current roster, as they now have the personnel to run 4-out 1-in offense and can run a Jerome/Hunter PnR down the throats of most teams instead of just relying on 3s off of ball screens. They shoot the 3 well but need to generate more looks at the rim to improve their offensive consistency.
Great job KJ I remember when he was at CF community college! Small world
Don't look now, but when the other team consistently makes three pointers four feet behind the arc, they win
AND IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN!
I've seen more points in handball xD
good job to the UMBC players for executing and their coaching staff for coming up with a sound game plan. and for the opinions you shared, well, you're entitled to them.
The one thing i love more than anything in sports is the mind game. I love pitching and batting so much in baseball because of the mind games the pitcher and batter can play on each other. The art of painting the corners, working the count. It's all a big mind game. I love this breakdown of the mind game in basketball because, even if it's not as complicated as in baseball, it's fascinating and i love it. Amazing video.
Nah it was all because of fortnite
yea
I NEED TO KNOW THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those asking, I think one of the reasons UVA won during the regular season was because most teams don’t have the personal to get UVA out of their element. The way to beat them is to make the tempo fast and exploit the fact that their bigs are stagnant for many offensive possessions. They weren’t down much at all during the season bc of their D, but when they do get down, it’s hard for them to climb out in a reasonable amount of time. Their D usually likes to suck the life out of the best player on the opposing team. And once that stage is done, they make the game even slower and suffocate your offense/primary ball handler so that you can’t score more than them. Most of their games are relatively low scorings affairs. But here, they couldn’t shut UMBC’s penetration down. And bc they’re a slower team, their rotations never got to shots in time.

Tony Bennett can't win playing pack line???
The best game I’ve ever watched
My high school plays pac line and while it’s good for Lower skilled teams where the 2 pt is the most dominant, it’s not versatile. Our coach’s entire base of the defense is to never allow a baseline drive and push defenders into the middle to be double or triple teamed. While this is effective against low-mid 3pt % teams, it’s becoming more and more useless.
Virginia didn't have their best defensive player. I think it's non-sense that you can only win with pace and space baskeball. UNC was better last year with the two traditional bigs....matter of fact 3 out the 4 final four teams last year played with two post players. Virginia won all year long, now we're gonna act like Tony Bennet's methods are antiquated?????

Too simplistic. If it was all about stylistically outclassing a team, someone in the ACC would have figured it out. I think UVA didn't come to play because they thought they could cakewalk and then when they started too, it was too late.
Now thry are Champions. VT

Question is UMBC for real?
I think this is the most enjoyable video I’ve watched on your channel. I really enjoyed the comparison between the GSW and ORL offenses but this takes the cake. Some great footage too and very understandable analysis as I don’t really know much about plays and D or O. Other than the video the game itself looked like it had come out of a textbook, really nice to see.
IIRC UMBC came within a whisker of going to the Sweet 16.
UMBC's pg is fucking raw
To busy worrying about Virginia got clapped by ksate next game
Take the 2018 tournament. Outside of Michigan or the Philadelphia area, what is more remembered - Villanova winning it, or Loyola’s Final Four run and UMBC becoming the first 16 seed to beat a 1?
Hey coach Nick I was wondering if Gardner webb had a chance to beat Virginia as well exploiting this defence
Virginia couldn't make adjustments to their old-fashioned game and were obliterated by UMBC's coach.
Shim Vic Virginia also lost one of their best players, De’Andre Hunter, to a wrist injury the game before and clearly had a hard time figuring it out without him.
I’d hardly call UVA old fashioned, we don’t have a rim protector, rely mostly on guard play, and abuse the 3-ball
