ISU does attempt 26 3s per game and have hit 37% for the season (41% tonight), so defending their offense isn't just an issue for Kansas. Considering they swept Iowa State, regardless of how miraculous it was, I'll still take concentrating on being the #1 FG% team in the country and forcing other teams to win by shooting 3s.

It's the best, most sustainable way to go (and it certainly worked for them in the tournament last year). I wouldn't do anything differently if I'm KU. Odds are that teams like ISU simply won't shoot like that (and they did eventually cool down in the OT).
