The biggest problem in today's game is perimeter defense.
Additionally, the biggest problem this season is perimeter defense.
In fact, compare Bama perimeter defense with the opposing guards' perimeter defense in today's game. There is a very big difference here.
Gators - fg 50.8%, 3p 35%, ft 86.1%, 39reb, 9ast, 5stl, 4blk, 7tov, 22pf
Bama - fg 46.5%, 3p 24%, ft 69.6%, 35reb, 15ast, 3stl, 4blk, 8tov, 25pf

The perimeter defense is all about the quickness of the guards. The better teams, FL, TN, Aub, KY all have quicker guards than us. Plus, their quicker guards can defend our guards closer and make it hard to shoot the 3, or drive past them. John Wooden said quickness is the most important attribute for a basketball player. There is a big, well known tennis academy in FL. When new players arrive there, they look at foot speed and quickness and put the quickest and fastest in one group, and all the others in another group. They can teach anyone to hit a tennis ball, but they cant teach quickness and speed.
