Mike Brey's Motion's Offense has multiple options depending on the cut and what's available with the read.
Here against Duke, Notre Dame came down and ran a 2nd option whereby they incorporate the cross court pass into a sprint ball screen action with their 5 man Auguste - 30.
Grant - 22 is so good at getting in the lane with his quickness and ball handling ability that the defense on Connaughton - 24 is forced to help opening up the lane for a baseline cut and lay-up.
Mike Brey has really perfected the Irish's Motion set in the last years and his team is adept at executing it to perfection.

1 (Jackson - 11) passes to 2 (Grant - 22) stepping off the elbow lane line extended
4 (Connaughton - 24) runs baseline off the low block screen from 5 (Auguste - 30)

3 (Vasturia - 32) clears opening up the next action
4 (Connaughton - 24) looks to penetrate as 5 (Auguste - 30) steps out opening up the driving lane
NOTRE DAME MOTION 2 vs DUKE
If the penetration is not there:
3 (Vasturia - 32) lifts and receives the pass from 4 (Connaughton - 24) who flashes to the short corner under 5 (Auguste - 30) who lifts up the lane on the cross court pass to 2 (Grant - 22) setting up the next action
4 (Connaughton - 24) can step out to set a SPNR with 3 (Vasturia - 32)
NOTRE DAME MOTION 2 vs DUKE
5 (Auguste - 30) sprints to set a ball screen on 2 (Grant - 22) who comes off the screen looking to drive the lane
In this instance - 4 (Connaughton - 24) reads the "help" defender and cuts baseline receiving the pass from 2 (Grant - 22) for the lay-up
