Film Session: Rutgers
In its loss to Rutgers on Thursday night, the Hoosiers kept Corey Sanders in check over the first 15 minutes of the first half, holding him scoreless.
But after a score at the 4:35 mark, Sanders really got it going and ended the contest with a game-high 28 points. As he’s proven time and again, once he gets going, he can be though to stop — even if you’re defending him well.
We’ll take a look at four Sanders scores in the latest, and likely, last edition of Film Session for the 2017-2018 season:

This was Indiana’s second straight possession that resulted in a turnover and score for the Scarlet Knights and led to a timeout from Archie Miller. This particular dunk really got the crowd into it and seemed to really energize Sanders, too.
