Our greatest weakness is our defensive approach that can allow record three point nights for opponents. This kid could feast on that.

My kid's high school program runs the same approach, and every school would suddenly put on a record night from behind the arc and the go get shut down in the next game.

Happened to us last year vs Penn State and it happened to us this year against Florida in the tourney. Both teams went on to get beat in the next matchup while barely making any threes.

You win by 3, you die by 3. If A&M is lucky, Neb's 3s will be bricks. We can't seem to defend 3s raining down though.

A&M is inconsistent as all get out. But at least they have developed another ball handler and scorer in Manny Obaseki, and Solo Washington drains some 3s too though he is too temperamental.

This team would be been a high seed and Sweet 16 lock if scoring center Julius Marble had been able to play, thus giving an inside scoring threat as well as better rim defense. Instead, he never played a game and is already off to next chapter of his life somewhere else.

All in all, I won't be surprised with an A&M loss, nor will I be surprised with an A&M win. I almost think they will have lot of motivation to win this and face Houston to try and avenge a close loss earlier in the season.

Alabama's defensive approach is much more varied and versatile than that. We neglect to defend anyone everywhere on the court.
