At what point do we modify defense strategy?

Pet peeve: Fans say “why does everyone shoot well from 3 against us?”

Reality: They are WIDE OPEN 3s. P5 players are going to make 50%+ when no one is within 10 feet of them.

It’s our defensive strategy that is the problem, not the other team’s hot shooting.

Do you want to see what happens if they just play straight up including the post?

Yep! Our defense does swarm... but that often leads to WIDE open 3's if teams know how to attack it and pass over it.
 
Most of our traps and double teaming on defense is just bad. We are not forcing turnovers, leaving shooters wide open and not being in good rebounding position. Cincinnati is terrible on offense. We should just play straight up D.
