FARMVILLE, Va. -- In the first installment of a new video series, Longwood men's basketball head coach Griff Aldrich and voice of the Lancers Sam Hovan take a look at the role of floor spacing in the Lancers' high-powered offense.

Examining a series of clips from the 2019-20 season, Aldrich takes viewers through the Xs and Os of Longwood men's basketball to give insight into how the Lancers have evolved into one of the Big South's most dangerous offensive squads. Last year the group ranked fourth in the Big South in three-point field goal percentage and tied for the league lead in made three-pointers per game, doing so just one year after Aldrich's debut team in 2018-19 broke the school record for made three-pointers. 

Every episode of the "Let It Fly 101" series will take a look at an important element of Longwood basketball's on-court strategy and identity. Future episodes will include ball movement, player movement, defensive schemes, transition and fast breaks, and more. Stay tuned for the latest installments leading up to the Lancers' 2020-21 season.
