About This Play/Drill

South Carolina does an effective job running the "Nail Play" looking to get Sidarious Thornwell a quick look at an open 3.

When the look isn't there, the offense continues with the Big-Big cross screen looking for a quick strike in the Post.

The Gamecocks finish the set off with two PNR actions forcing defensive rotation and an open lane for 1 v 1 action from Dozier.

1 (#15 - Dozier) passes to 3 (#0 - Thornwell) who comes off the nail looking for a quick shot if open

1 (#15 - Dozier) cuts to the corner on the weak side

2 (#10 - Notice) steps to the block
5 (#21 - Kostar) cross screens for 4 (#30 - Silva) who cuts hard into the ball side post.

3 (#0 - Thornwell) reverses the ball to 5 (#21 - Kostar) who then swings the ball to 2 (#10 - Notice) on the wing
5 (#21 - Kostar) dribbles to the wing as 2 (#10 - Notice) cuts back door as 1 (#15 - Dozier) lifts out of the corner for the pass

4 (#30 - Silva) flashes to the ball side post
5 (#21 - Kostar) follows his pass with the sprint-to-screen action, rolling off the SPNR with 1 (#15 - Dozier)

4 (#30 - Silva) relocates to the weak side block as 2 (#10 - Notice) steps out to the corner
4 (#30 - Silva) sprints-to-screen for 1 (#15 - Dozier) who attacks the screen, changes direction and goes down the lane to the basket

5 (#21 - Kostar) relocates to the opposite block opening the space for 1 to drive as 4 (#30 - Silva) short rolls at the FT line
