The first 5-8 minutes BYU was shutting down Alabama’s inside game and was ahead most of that time. Alabama decided to look for the three and never looked back.
I’m guessing BYU’s coaches thought that Alabama couldn’t keep up their 3 accuracy in the 2nd half and kept the same defensive strategy. You all know how that turned out.
Yes, Alabama was crazy hot and hit some amazing long distance shots. IMO, too many of those were uncontested.
