I admittedly don't watch a lot of non-IU college basketball until the tournament starts. Based on the small sampling I watched, it looks like there are exactly three offensive options in CBB...

Fast break in transition
Dribble weave/high ball screen until someone has enough daylight to drive
Pass it around the perimeter until 3 left on shot clock, then chuck up a three-pointer and hope it goes

Sure, there's an occasional lob or drive & dish, but that's about it. And that's the elite teams as well as the dregs.

Am I wrong?

Definitely not a "real fan"

that A&M team seemed to have some mad "double roll" - not sure what to call it. It was the dribble weave but not so much dribble drive but more like a roll-pop-pass with 2 options. Didn't it? Hard to explain but I did see it a lot. Basically the Guard was upto.. dribble into a screen and the screener PLUS the same side post guy cut to the hoop for the pass.
-Of course I could have been in a hoops coma at that point.. but I think that's what I saw.

-(otherwise agree)
