Anyone watching the Duke/Kansas game had to be super impressed with the team defense by both teams. The ability the make multiple rotations and not miss a beat is so impressive and I think the majority of basketball fans don't really appreciate this. Good defensive rotation is far more difficult than knocking down 3's and high flying dunks. I just don't get how how true basketball fans can't see this.

I agree, both have pretty good help defense and know their assignments.

Good cover defense and shot blocking, but very little in the way of getting in passing lanes and picking off passes. That's the main thing I like about Alabama's defense, they are constantly throwing hands around getting steals by invading the passing lanes.

Different styles of defense, both very effective IMO.

well for a good bit of the second half the defenses didnt really matter because neither ball could throw it in the ocean.

bill self's kansas teams are pretty much always a top 3-5 defensive team in college basketball. if you wanna learn how to play defense as a team, just watch them in any given year under self.
