Buckyball is the style of play McMillan brought with him to Birmingham. It’s a fast-paced, up-and-down style that emphasizes run-outs, quick shots, and high pressure. Samford ranked 17th in the country in tempo last season (KenPom) and 11th in FGA% in transition (Hoop-Math) and implemented a full-court press at the 2nd highest frequency in the country (Synergy). This style of play can lead to massive swings in results and can be fun to watch.
