How do so many teams drain 3's on us?


We were one of the top defenses when it came to opponents 3 point percentage coming into tonight.

Based on your next sentence I don't think you do.

Aside from establishing the almighty “defensive mindset” You speak of when our recruits walk into campus, what defensive system would you implement or develop over the course of the season to be effective against someone shooting 7/8 from 3pt line??


There is more to defending a perimeter player than simply contesting his shot. You play defense with your feet, not your hands. You beat him to the spot. You deny him the ball at the time he want to get it. If playing man you correctly and effectively switch on picks. You double the hot hand if necessary. If playing zone (which you shouldn't) you rotate quickly and flood the side of the floor the hot hand is on. Oh, and whatever you do, do it with effort and pride.

These are just a few, but I'm sure you knew all of this.

Because we played good D or just poor shooting teams? Honestly asking because I remember us struggling with it last year. I heard Hunt saying Bama's game was the 3. Seems like we would have been ready for it.

Well maybe we just have different opinions. I blame the PLAYERS for their effort. Not the coach.

South Carolina shot 25% from the arc against us.
Arkansas shot 25%.

Are you sure you aren’t just biased and overreacting? I get it man it hurts, let the pain out

Who or what am I biased against? Last year teams tore us up from the arc.

Those are some good points. Congratulations, now try to explain that to a 18-20 year old after they just had their opponent drain 7 straight 3s in 5 minutes. Wade is not the problem. It’s the fact no one wants to play defense anymore and the fact Bama was not just having a good night with a “hot hand” we needed to shut down...they literally just had a record performance.

No whether you think that was WW fault for not teaching fundamental defense (yes your points are good ones KC, I’ll give you that) or whether our players just got outplayed, that’s your opinion.

If we play that game 10 times, Bama doesn’t have that kind of shooting night again. That was unreal. Don’t care how good you are on defense, how well you close out or rotate over or close the gaps, force kick outs and “content” the perimeter shots...

Wow! So much to unpack here:

Thanks you for the accolade.

Coaching is the reason they drained all those 3's. Will Wade even admitted to such in his presser

I don't think you know what the word "Fact" means.

That can happen when you're not prepared defensively
