Half-court play.

#Half-court basketball plays

STEP 1
2 + 3 should be shooters, but the ball should go to opposite side of the hot hand
STEP 2
On the pass, one clears to the corner and replaces 5 that steps into the lane. 
3 rips the ball and drives hard into the lane. 
STEP 3
2 comes in and fakes the handoff with 3 
STEP 4
5 sets a flare screen for 2, 3 passes to 2.
STEP 5
2 looks to shoot, 3 rolls to the top for safety, and 5 rolls to the hoop.

If 1's defender cheats up to intercept the pass, 1 can flash into the lane for a possible backdoor look.

If no clear look, the play returns to Marquette dribble weave.
