To be fair , a ten point lead ain’t squat when you beg teams to shoot 3’s against you and then don’t defend them . Gtown went on a streak of missing and then the streak regressed to the mean
You know, I watched the game, too. I don't think the defense was that bad against the three. It's been far worse against other teams recently. I think a pretty good percentage of Georgetown's threes from the wings or the top of the key were contested.
Where they got most of the open looks was from the corners, and unfortunately that's the open space against the 1-3-1, just like the foul line is the open space against the 2-3.
Every defense has a weakness. Every defense takes something away, but creates other opportunities for the offense. That's just how it is.
