Bama coach on our defense…

Yeah that was brutal to listen to… “We liked what we saw and they did exactly

Good. I want a motivated KY during the offseason. He won’t want to get worked

KY talked about how they are friends. Wonder how much they’ll talk this

We got out coached tonight but I also don’t know how you coach against

First thing is you go over screens so they don’t get wide open 3’s.

Fair enough, but everything up to that game

Watch how Alabama defended us all game. They fought over screens and didn’t

For some reason we don’t like to play guys tight

We don’t quite have the athletes

Because we don’t have the dudes who can do that

Our screens have been soft all season so fighting over them is not hard

Be ok with 2 point shots, pick up and stay with guys once they cross half court,

BYUHgrad

Mar 27, 9:24pm

As has been said, with the guys we have, that leads to an alley-oop dunk

Almost every possession? Sure. Defenses can rotate

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:02am

Which is fine…because alley oops are only worth 2 points.

BYUHgrad

You don’t go under screens

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:01am

We go under so we don't get blown by. We have a hope and pray defense

Even Bama ain't doing that every night. 50% is ridiculous even if unguarded entirely and they were not all uncontested

It was one guy.

Seriously, not sure what game Covid-19 was watching. It's like guarding BYU if Knell, Sanders, Catchings, Demin, Mag,

And we exploited the weakness in their paint defense to the tune of 50(!) points

Yeah but to be honest they hit deep deep shots. That they usually don’t hit at

That’s why you don’t let a team get confident early.

BYUHgrad

Good defense changes field goal percentages.

Plantagenet

Mar 28, 11:07am

Yep…na dBYU’s 270th ranked 3 point defense is not good.

BYUHgrad

Mar 28, 3:23pm

That and the % was unreal. Play them again and doubt it would be the near that.

Most of their threes were typical threes just behind the line

Mar 28, 7:03am

Cool, but if they miss probably half their deep low percentage its a different

Mar 28, 7:09am

We lost by 25. If they go 17/50 they still win

BYU '80

It's ebbs and flows. It's not just about cutting a percentage of their points

You can question the reasons and rationale but you can't question the results

I get the coach is trying to give him and his team props, but c'mon man. What

They had space on nearly all their threes. Lunging at guys at the last second

They were pulling up from Jimmer range half of the time.
