A look at three plays from Indiana’s big win over Illinois — a Jeremiah Rivers defensive stand; a Jordan Hulls three; a Will Sheehey dunk —  in the latest edition of Film Session:

NO. 1: RIVERS HOUNDS MCCAMEY

After Christian Watford swatted a Jereme Richmond attempt out of bounds, Illinois inbounds the ball to D.J. Richardson out on the wing with 31 seconds remaining on the shot clock:

The ball eventually finds its way to McCamey near half court:

McCamey hands the ball off to Richardson and begins to cut through to the weak side:

McCamey sets a pick for Mike Davis, and Rivers quickly gets a hand in to deny an entry pass:

Rivers then quickly switches and puts a hand up to deny anything to McCamey:

Rivers fights through a Bill Cole pick:

And ends up right in McCamey’s grill:

Richmond gives the ball back to McCamey:

With the shot clock winding down, McCamey makes a move to the cup:

Rivers stays right with McCamey as he goes up for a shot:

McCamey shot fakes, Rivers doesn’t bite and then he strips the ball from McCamey:

Nice bit of defense from Rivers, as he was all over McCamey every step of the way here, and for most of the evening.

RIVERS’ WORK IN FULL:

NO. 2: HULLS’ TRANSITION THREE

Hulls’ shooting was a catalyst in the win. He went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Here’s a peek at how he got open for one of his makes.

After a Richardson shot off the side of the backboard, Hulls looks to push the ball up the court:

Hulls crosses half court with only Mike Tisdale and McCamey to pick him up:

Hulls has some separation, but opts to dribble back left, perhaps to set up the offense:

But a trailing Bobby Capobianco sets a pick:

Which frees Hulls for his three:

Money:

Nice recognition for Bobby C. during his limited playing time last evening.

POSSESSION IN FULL:

NO. 3: SHEEHEY GETS IN ON THE ACTION

This one’s from the first half.

Rivers instructs Sheehey to clear out to the weak side:

Watford sets a screen for Rivers:

Rivers gets around Davis:

Tisdale and McCamey both collapse in:

Rivers drops a pretty no-look dime to Sheehey:

Who dunks it home:

While Sheehey gets the two points, this play was set up by Rivers, who was seemingly everyone on both sides of the ball last evening.
