College teams that live and die by the three almost always die by it during March Madness. I feel that is Alabama right now.
It did not for the Villanova title teams
Alabama was one of the top teams in the country in paint points this season. The problem is, Duke has too much length on the perimeter and maybe the best rim protector in the country. Nothing will work consistently against that
Mar 30, 2025 02:32Those Nova teams were tough you’re right. I feel like 8/28 from 3 is sinking this Bama team. No matter who is in the paint you have to at least try to get there. Especially if that is your bread and butter
It definitely is. Unfortunately Alabama wasn’t as good at shooting the 3 this year as their reputation suggests. They’re at their best when they can drive to the lane and either kick it out for 3, draw a foul, or take the layup/dunk. Duke doesn’t let any of that happen. They are too long and sound
