We know Indiana’s offense struggled in its loss to Penn State in Happy Valley.

But over the final 10 minutes of action, the Hoosiers also made a number of miscues on defense and the Nittany Lions capitalized to emerge victorious. It was IU’s second worst performance on D in terms of points per possession (1.05) in conference play.

We’ll take a look at the defensive missteps down the stretch in the latest edition of Film Session:

Brandon Taylor inbounds the ball to Julian Moore in the left corner:

Moore passes to Shep Garner on the left wing. From there, he heads down to the left block to set a screen for Taylor. Taylor begins to cut out to the left corner:

As he does, Max Bielfeldt chooses to go around the front side to avoid the screen:

But it doesn’t help. Beilfeldt’s longer route give’s Taylor space to catch:

He rises and hits:
