I think BYU we probably had the right strategy last night. It was pick your
poison. Let them pick us apart in the paint or force them to shoot threes and hope they don't have a great shooting night. If you run them off the three point line they would have been almost guaranteed to score 90+. If you force threes maybe you get a bad shooting night and they score 80 and we outscore them. Or you run the risk of them catching fire and setting a tournament record for threes. Unfortunately the latter happened but I still think it was probably the right strategy.

It's easy to say in hindsight that we should have abandoned the strategy when they started out hot. But that's like selling a stock when it dips. Probability is that they will come back to the mean so you should stay the course. Just didn't work out for us last night.
