Matchups: Florida vs. UConn

[NHUConnfan]

The two teams are different compared to when they met the first time this year. What matchups are different and what does that mean for our team?

(Probably that we're dooooooooooomed!)

Floridas starters are the same.

Wilbekin - Boat/Napier, Wilbekin is playing the best ball of his career.
Frazier - Boat/Napier, basicay the same, he still can't be left alone near three
Prather - Giffey, Prathers jumper has abandoned him a bit. Giffey came off the bench the first time. Giffey is a better defender than Calhoun and a serious threat. I like this matchup better than before.
Yeguette - Daniels, same interesting matchup as before.
Young - Nolan, if MSU Nolan shows up that's a huge plus.

The bench is where UF has really improved from the last game:

Kasey Hill, bad shooter but good defender and runs the team well. He also gives them a legit backup they didn't have last game.
Smith, similar to before I guess you could say. Sometimes great sometimes lost
Walker, athletic 4-5 who has his moments and is a huge athletic mismatch.

For UConn:
Kromah
Samuel - similar per minute stats to Hill, fewer minutes.
Brimah

Basically all three are getting more time or are just worlds better now.

UF beat up on a pretty weak SEC (UK and Tennessee didn't start to play well until recently), then beat Albany, Pitt, UCLA and Dayton to get to the Final Four. If everyone is saying UConn had an easy road they should look at UFs.​
