Rivers gets the ball from Petteway. Petteway heads to the right wing and gets the ball back:

Robinson and Troy Williams switch. Robinson now has Pitchford with Williams on Petteway:

Pitchford again comes in for a ball screen, but quickly slips as both Williams and Robinson converge:

The Hoosiers were set up to switch everything. But Williams tries sticking with Petteway for a second, and then oddly spins out of the action and never really fully commit outs to Pitchford. Davis thinks about it, but he too doesn’t go out to get a hand up:

“The mistake late of leaving Pitchford baffles my mind,” said Tom Crean after the game. “I don’t know how we can make a mistake there in a switch game.”

Williams, who had a nice game on offense but still has his freshman moments, appeared to be the culprit here.
