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.
