[URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2181/drake-bulldogs']Drake[/URL] tried to screen them down the stretch and got some buckets. They don't spend a ton of time working on that. You can screen them. And they're small. They'll struggle with [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4683750/jordan-hawkins']Jordan Hawkins[/URL]. They struggled with [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/259/virginia-tech-hokies']Virginia Tech[/URL] because of all the screening and movement and misdirection. Like if your offense is based on dribbling the ball, isolation and pick-and-roll, you can score but it's going to be hard over the course of 40 minutes. They're good in pick-and-roll. They'll put two on the ball, Omier will hedge. They switch. They have good athletes and they're smart." "If Omier is not on the floor, they can struggle at times. His splits are telling. They don't have a ton of depth, but the depth they do have is fine. Just the foul trouble. UConn can probably match them athletically and they've got size at the rim so it will be interesting to see." Miami's defensive kryptonite is our offensive bread and butter. we will be impossible for them to stop if hawk is hitting 3s and sanogo is finishing down low. [/QUOTE]
