Film Session: Illinois
With the Hoosiers down eight again with 1:38 to play, Durham brings the ball up the court. Jackson-Davis frees Galloway on the flex screen:
Durham moves to the right side as Galloway looks for the ball. Jackson-Davis is setting up for another screen, this time for Franklin, but he again counters with a cut up the paint to the top of the key. Thompson is on the free throw line:
This time it’s just one screener (Thompson) for Franklin and he gets a body on Frazier:
Durham makes the pass and Franklin has some room:
He turns to face the hoop as Frazier nears:
And rises above him for another 3-pointer:
Great body control from Franklin on this one to catch, turn, rise and fire — looking like a true shooter in the process. Franklin also short-circuted Indiana’s typical wheel motion here by darting up through the paint instead of cutting through the baseline and curling up to the left wing, leaving Frazier in his dust thanks to the Thompson screen.
