It is not quite axiomatic but close – leave by the three, die by the three. Alabama basketball coach, Nate Oats is undeterred by whatever level of risk he sees in a three-dependent offense. On Saturday in Lexington, KY, Oats’ Alabama basketball was bombed by three-balls from the Kentucky Wildcats.
John Calipari’s team is not nearly as three-dependent as the Crimson Tide. A roster fully filled with all necessary talent components allows the Cats to play more traditionally. And the Cats on the season were far below the Crimson Tide make-rate for threes; 37 percent for the Tide and 30 percent for the Wildcats.
