Film Session: Michigan State
Another ball screen from Holt, another hedge from Schilling:
Ferrell doesn’t get around the corner on him:
The Spartans recover once again:
Ferrell comes into the lane, but nothing is doing, so he kicks it back out to Troy Williams:
Branden Dawson, who in the frame above has his back to Williams trying to steal the pass, has turned around and has his body in front of Williams:
And as Williams gets to the right elbow, Dawson is all over him:
Williams tries making a move to get a shot up over him, but Dawson blocks the attempt:
The ball comes out to Johnson:
Johnson is able to step into a good look from 3-point range:
But he hits just the backboard on the attempt:
Video:
Here was IU’s night in a nutshell. Great defense from the Spartans and bad 3-point shooting from the Hoosiers even when they got a good look.
