Film Session: Rutgers

  • Mar 3, 2018

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:

With Rutgers in the midst of its 21-4 run in the first half, Freddie McSwain has the ball at the top of the key as Robert Johnson cuts through the paint to the right wing:

As Johnson gets a screen from Justin Smith, Sanders calls out a switch as he moves to guard Johnson:

Sanders fronts Johnson hard as he maneuvers around Zach McRoberts and avoids the screen:

McSwain goes for the handoff, but with Sanders playing so tight, he’s able to poke the ball loose:

He grabs the ball ahead of the Hoosier defense:

And throws down a slam to cut Indiana’s lead to three points:

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.
