Be prepared to wince at the half court offense if they get forced into playing it. Their game, at least at VCU, was predicated on making the other team move fast. If you don't panic and break that press and make them defend, well, one of the knocks on Smart was that he wasn't a big X and O guy.
There should definitely be initial success though. The "Madman" forces an inbounds towards the corner, and there's a quick trap, and it all flows from there.
Here's a primer on the press:
