"Belmont’s offense dating back to the Byrd years is as unstructured as any in college basketball; Alexander calls it “barely more than a pickup game.” What [I]is [/I]taught is how to play the game the right way. To play basketball at Belmont is to get a Ph.D. in the game, becoming elite at cutting, screening and moving without the ball. Players are given immense freedom as long as they do those things well, and learning each other’s tendencies can take time."

“We’re so unpatterned,” Alexander says. “You’re not going to watch us play and figure out what we’re doing because we don’t know what we’re doing. We just know that when we screen, here are the things we can do. And we know that you’re a better screener and I’m a better shooter and he’s a better cutter, and I’m good off the dribble but you don’t need to dribble. We just try to play to personal strengths.”

"The result is one of the nation’s sharpest offenses, ranking in the top five nationally in effective field goal percentage and producing quality shot after quality shot."
