Again, it's like some people think the last part of the first half against Penn State was the beginning. They only had 13 points through the first 12 minutes of the game. It's not how our defense started that was the problem.
We're not going to suddenly come out in a different defense on Friday after running variations of the same thing for over 30 games including some against teams that shoot the three even better than Nebraska does.
We let them beat us the only we they could and then refused to adjust.
Nebraska will space the court with all 5 guys. And they want to shoot early and often. If we are double teaming and crashing to stop something they don't want to do, to give them open looks for something they do want to do, it would be pretty dumb on our part.
And I don't really care how many games have been played or what our normal defense is. Your goal should always be to take away the opponents strength without sacrificing your own. We can very easily guard the 3. We switch everything already. Just don't crash in the paint. Trust each man to pick up his own guy. If they are torching us with 2's, it's a lot easier to adjust and come back from than if they are torching us with 3's.
