Yeah it's the strategy I would have gone with as well.

I knew we were in trouble when they banked in a three.

Yeah would have been nice to know ahead of time Bama would break the NCAA record

This. They has what 20 more shot attempts?

? No. We had more shot attempts and more offensive rebounds.

they shout 51 3s to our 20. Seems to me that is more for them.

But their outlier performance was because they were playing an outlier defensive strategy

Not completely. Most days they probably wouldn’t hit that percentage of threes

What? lol that’s absurd. Go watch these guys warm up.

WP17

Mar 28, 11:10am

I think most would hit 95%
