It's true. Alabama was red hot, but BYU's perimeter defense was abysmal.

Our perimeter defense was terrible. We fought under every screen leaving them

And Bama had not been taking or making them in last part of season. Needed faster adjustments

Also, it's okay to admit we made mistakes and our coaching strategy should have adjusted. It happens.

I don’t agree. They stayed attached to shooters

We gave them open 3's to start, they got in a groove, so when we did try to close out on them, they still kept hitting,
