About This Play/Drill

#5 Louisville Cardinals from their game against Illinois State

The Cardinals did a good job moving the ball on this play looking to either isolate Siva for a three pointer or get the ball inside to one of their big men.

The opening action is a good misdirection moving the defense away from the single baseline screen which Siva uses to get free.

  • Smith brings the ball up the left side of the floor and sets up the defender as he comes off a double high ball screen. Behanan rolls into a screen for Siva who is running baseline and timing his cut. Price rolls off his screen to the post looking for a possible feed from Smith. Blackshear comes behind Smith as he's going off the screens filling at the top of the 3 pt line

     

  • Smith reverses the ball in this action who throws to Siva coming off the baseline screen from Behanan - Siva times his cut to come off the screen with the ball reversal. Siva has the option to shoot if he's open or dump into the post
     

  • In this action, Siva does not have a shot or a post pass. Price sprints into a wing ball screen with Siva and rolls to the basket. Behanan fills the vacated wing area from Siva and looks for ball reversal pass from Siva
     

  • Siva comes off the screen and throws back to Behanan filling the wing area. Behanan had an open look at a 3 pointer, but with the defense sagging back, he penetrated to the middle of the lane.

     

    *Louisville had good spacing on this play and Smith & Blackshear were spotting up for a possible kick-out pass
