Alabama 3 Pointers killed us

I said in another thread we simply have to find a way to get more 3s up. 27 isn’t enough for us in a game where we have such deficiencies in athleticism and defense.

I'm not sure how many 3 pointers Alabama made but they were absolutely on fire. When a team is shooting like that from the three it's hard to be anybody.
Alabama hit their threes because they were wide open- we weren't within 5' of the shooter. This is why most any team we play hits their season high on threes.....

They also made 9 more FT’s than UK attempted. That should tell you all you need to know. UK outplayed Alabama in almost every aspect of the game even in points from FG’s. They received a lot of help from the refs.
most of the free throws were from fouls, and the fouls are because the defense is atrocious and can’t stay in front of their man and try to recover late.
 
Tennessee, Iowa State, UConn, Marquette all lost too. Just that kind of year in college basketball.

Oh, also Carolina lost at home to Stanford pushing them further down the bubble.

Hopefully something is moving around up there in Amari's head and he realizes that he can help the team defend the three pointer by protecting the basket better. Same goes for the other bigs. Right now the guards are somewhat off the hook regarding this issue.
