Film Session: Ball screens for Oladipo

by in Film Session | February 6th, 2012

With Verdell Jones out of the lineup, Victor Oladipo assumed more of a ballhandling role and scored a career-high 23 points inside Mackey Area on Saturday evening. And when Oladipo wasn’t scoring, he was making smart decisions and dishing to teammates.

A look at Oladipo’s use of six ball screens in the latest edition of Film Session.

NO 1) 

Cody Zeller sets a high ball screen for Oladipo:

Oladipo splits the defenders:

Lewis Jackson leaves Remy Abell to stop Oladipo’s straight-line drive to the rim. Oladipo passes to the now-open Abell:

Film Session: Top-of-the-key problems

by in Film Session | February 3rd, 2012

Indiana came out flat on ends of the floor against Michigan on Wednesday. And in the end, it was too much to overcome.

A look a three plays near the top of the key in the first half where Michigan carved the Hoosiers up in the latest edition of Film Session.

NO. 1) A THREE FROM NOVAK

Here we see Jordan Morgan setting a high ball screen for Trey Burke:

Film Session: The Pritch

by in Film Session | January 31st, 2012

Tom Pritchard scored a season-high seven points and aided in the Hoosiers’ strong offensive rebounding effort by snagging three in Indiana’s 103-89 win against the Hawkeyes on Sunday inside Assembly Hall. He also drew two charges and recorded a steal in his 13 minutes of action.

A look at Pritchard’s offensive contributions in the latest edition of Film Session.

Film Session: Going back to the well

by in Film Session | January 28th, 2012

After Indiana’s win against Penn State, I highlighted both a double screen and cross screen set in Film Session.

The Hoosiers used both again in its loss to the Badgers — this time with different results.

A look at these two, as well as an inbounds play, in the latest edition of Film Session.

1) DOUBLE SCREEN

Indiana goes right to this its first possession of the game, similar to how the Hoosiers went to it to start the second half against Penn State. But this time it comes after some earlier action the shot clock, and we have Victor Oladipo and Christian Watford in the high post instead of Watford and Cody Zeller, who’s down on the opposite block:

Watford becomes the roll man with Oladipo flashing out past the 3-point line. Jones, after he comes right off the screen, looks to get it inside to Zeller:

But the angle doesn’t quite match, and it ends up being a turnover for the Hoosiers:

A common theme from the spectator end of Indiana’s offense is “Get The Ball Into Cody!” Perhaps that was the plan to start the game, but it didn’t end up with a touch or bucket in what became a rough night for the big man.

Film Session: Early second half offensive action

by in Film Session | January 24th, 2012

Indiana’s offense came out clicking after halftime in Sunday’s win against the Nittany Lions, and it helped propel them to a comfortable win inside Assembly Hall.

A look at three early plays — all of which featured some interesting sets — in the latest edition of Film Session.

1) DOUBLE SCREEN IN THE HIGH POST

Indiana has the ball to start the half, and Cody Zeller and Christian Watford set a double screen for Verdell Jones:

Jones curls around the screens and heads for the paint. Watford flashes out beyond the 3-point line to “The Spot.” Zeller rolls to the rim:

At first, Ross Travis looks to stay in front of Jones (above photo). But he flashes out to mark his man, Watford, which allows Jones a clear lane to the basket:

Film Session: Stealing from the Hoosiers

by in Film Session | January 20th, 2012

In Indiana’s 70-69 road loss to Nebraska, the Hoosiers turned the ball over on 22.7 percent of their possessions — allowing for 16 points off turnovers for the Cornhuskers.

A look at three errant passes which turned into points for Nebraska in the latest edition of Film Session.

NO. 1) RICHARDSON HEADS OUT OF BOUNDS

Christian Watford grabs a rebound off a Jordan Hulls missed three:

Watford tries passing over the top of Brandon Richardson, but he deflects the ball up in the air:
