You have to be able to play defense.

Just like we need to get better shooters because your defense isn't going to be lights out every night. Alabama needed to play defense tonight and they couldn't. I'm glad. Hate Bama and Nate Oates.

Duke has a lot to do with that.
They'll stress anyone on both ends of the court.

You're not wrong. I'm fully impressed with Dukes fundamental basketball style.

But, part of that is how bad Alabamas defense is. They score so much most of the time, it doesn't matter.

Bama shot 25% from 3-point which is terrible for them. By contrast, Duke, shot 46%

Duke hit 86% of their FTs too.

Duke was my Final 4 pick months ago.

Considering they've been ranked in at least the Top 4 since Week 6 with the best player in the country, you really went out on a limb there! LOL

Watching Mark Sears' Senior season end scoring 6 on 2/12 was very satisfying. Wife HATES him and was even more giddy.

Duke's length and their switches threw off their momentum and pace. They picked up Bama so far from the basket and forced some late shot clock situations

You knew they weren't going to duplicate that shooting against duke.

Teams that have an out of this world shooting night almost cheats have a not so good shooting night the next game . See unc from playin game to round 1

Agree with OP. All 4 remaining teams are good defensively but they also have one or more outstanding offensive players that can carry them when things aren't working normally offensively ( Flagg, Broome , Uzan, Clayton all fit this mold imo).

lol. Buzz ain't great at defense either once you see him give up tons of open-3's or that Michigan game. He's lucky Yale missed so many open shots after that first quarter. Alabama's program is on another planet compared to us thanks to them hiring the coach they did.
