PRESSURE the guards. Play physical, handsy, reaching defense and hope the refs allow it. Force the guards to start the offense out near half court. Play the passing lanes and try to steal the ball from the dribblers.

What is the best way for teams to defend BYU right now?

Stay on the shooters, don't double Yoeli, and get the refs to call 3 or 4

I would guard the perimeter and force yeoli to make those 8-10 foot shots more

I'd love to see them work on a few specific plays to take advantage of press.

This is the correct answer, teams have been doing this more and more since USF

USF nearly did it at our place too. Shaking my head why a team up 18 feels

Guard tight on the three and make BYU guards drive the ball. Double Yo and

One thing USD did is they used a long athletic forward in Rodriguez to spy Yo’s

Sit back in a recliner, crack open a cold one, and wait for our players to get injured in practice

Use a 7-foot rim protector in the paint and guard the 3-point line

Not do it.

Stretched out 1-3-1. Make Yoeli shoot and the guards drive
