I would love to see Duke test Alabama to see if they can keep that going, do

the same thing BYU did and go under the screens. My guess is Alabama would shoot a much lower percentage.

Seeing CBS Sports call us out for allowing so many unguarded 3 pointers

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

Yeah I think a lot of it was poor d on our part. Didn’t help they were red hot.

Great to have BYU part of the conversation. More name recognition & at the table

It's not a bad take. BYU gameplan was pretty poor in that game. A mistake I

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

So many on the board eye rolled any mention of terrible defending of the 3, or bad coaching. It's so obvious

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

BYU was ranked 292nd in opponent’s 3 pt %. They’ve been horrible defensively all

I think that would be a mistake on Dukes part - playing tight D 6 to 8 feet

Everyone seems to forget we didn't have the athletes to chase them off the 3

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

That's what Alabama did (chase us off 3) and a big reason we feasted inside

I don’t agree. They stayed attached to shooters

Mar 29, 2:11pm

That's probably more accurate; my point was they sacrificed interior defense for 3 point defense

I haven’t seen many argue the defensive strategy, just saying it explains why

A lot of posters have implied that BYU is to slow at defense. That all CBS was

It sounds like they were saying we gave up uncontested 3’s

Most of those undefended threes were a result of BYU players...

They were red hot, high confidence in their shot selection and we dared them to

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,
