They badger opponents with a constant full-court press, patiently set up "give-and-go" plays designed to catch the defenders off guard, and spring a Butler player loose for a driving two-point layup. If they are unable to clear a path to the basket, they feed the ball back to Williams-whose one-hand ed jump shot from 15 ft. is among the most accurate "outside" shots in college basketball.
