Tennessee Circle Exit Spain
A go-to for the Vols has been their circle exit action to clear a side for an empty lob off Spain action.
2 loops around the 5 then runs off 4’s exit screen
5 sets a ball screen for 1 then runs off 3’s backscreen
1 can pass to 2 or 5

Sharpshooter Isaiah Evans carried Duke to a win over St. John’s in their Sweet 16 matchup. The Blue Devils have been using this Rickey action all season to get the super-sophomore looks from deep.
2 ghosts for 1 then receives a weak flare screen from 5
5 rescreens for 2
