Duke disrupted Alabama and got them out of rhythm. We didn't disrupt them, got

We clearly didn't have the athletes or length to disrupt them like Duke.

Mar 30, 7:59am

Yep. Or the scheme. We couldn't have executed it with our players as well asDuke

Undefeated

Schemes got us to the over-achieving position of 4th in Big12 & a Sweet 16 run.

Did you think I forgot what we achieved this year? Did you think I didn't know

Undefeated

Mar 30, 8:39am

Yup. We were good enough to be sweet 16, but high level to elite guard play is what gets you to the elite 8 and beyond

So how did Robert Morris pull it off? Or St Mary’s?

Medute

You really think BYU's perimeter athleticism is comparable to Robert Morris's?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 30, 8:15am

I just think it’s a lazy excuse to say you don’t have Duke’s athletes

Medute

Mar 30, 8:30am

I just think it's lazy to say you're going to run the Big12 and then become a laughing stock.

That's not the topic we're discussing here.

Undefeated

It’s cool. It’s a normal defense mechanism when people don’t want to discuss

BYU got destroyed by Bama, I'm not qualified to breakdown scheme. But what I am qualified to identify...

I’m in the room with a bunch of BYU fans. I know that

I think it's also fair to say Bama shot outa their minds, & we went down as who

SinkingQuffa

Mar 30, 8:56am

Yep, they found a ridiculous rhythm in that game

We were still in the game five minutes into the 2nd half. I think we played our

I think teams often cool because defenses adjust

Medute

I think we all know a guy like KY would never build his roster so heavy

SinkingQuffa

Mar 30, 10:59am

It was a pretty dang good roster if you ask me

Medute

Mar 30, 11:01am

Offensively it had options, but not defensively. It needed more two-way players.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 30, 11:06am

For sure. But isn’t that sort of what college ball is all about

Medute

Mar 30, 11:17am

Yeah, we cheer for the same college game. It's nice that BYU's finally willing

Having two 7 footers to cover Sears off the screen helped Duke.

For sure. I alludedto that in my post but maybe should have gotten more specific

Defending the 3 has been a problem all year.

True that. I was just thinking about the reasons behind how Alabama got so hot.

Duke's shortest contributor is 6' 5". That's also helpful.

Someone on ESPN said Duke's team is the tallest in college basketball.

"Their personnel and how they used them definitely helped too." - OP

Not a contradiction.

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying that because I thought you were contradicting

Undefeated

Duke also has an elite defense with the most length in college basketball.
