They live by the 3 ball. If it falls, they win. If it doesn’t, they have no game.

They are ranked 103rd in KenPom in defensive efficiency. They are getting crushed because they can not defend a team worth a shite!

Not just by the 3. Oats wants either layups or dunks and 3s -- but no midrange 2s at all. It's fun to watch and play, I'm sure, but I'm not certain that strategy takes a team very far in the tourney. Opposing coaches know going in exactly how Bama is going to play on offense every game.
And as you said, when the 3s aren't falling, they lose.
Plus Bama's D allowed Creighton to shoot 55.8% from the floor overall while themselves shooting 46.7% overall and just 18.2% from 3 to Creighton's 33.3%. That's not a recipe for a W. It wasn't all about the gap in fouls.

They scored 82 points without the 3s falling. Their problem is defensive not offensive.
