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.

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

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?

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

SinkingQuffa

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

Medute

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.

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...

Decent points.

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

Yep, they found a ridiculous rhythm in that game

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

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.

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.

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