NO. 3) HULLS TO SHEEHEY GETS INTERCEPTED
Verdell Jones takes a Nebraska miss up the court and passes to Hulls on the right wing:
Hulls spots Will Sheehey near the free throw line, who has Toney McCray behind him anticipating the pass:
McCray cuts off the pass for the steal:
McCray takes it up the court and passes to Spencer:
Who puts it in for two:
It was early in the shot clock here, so Hulls could have elected to dribble up top himself to reset the offense. But by passing to Sheehey — who wasn’t quite high enough above the key to have a clear passing lane — it was a turnover for IU and score for Nebraska.
