For the tourney, Miami's top 8 guys are shooting 118-241 (49%) and 33-89 from 3 (37.1%), both just a hair better than their season averages. That's very good.

However, since giving up 56 vs Drake, they've given up more in each successive game: 69. 75, 81.

Pack is their volume 3 pt shooter, and their most accurate. He's hoisted 35 so far in the tourney, making 14, for a nice even 40% clip. Wong is 7-18 and Poplar 5-16. Joseph is their Joey C. He comes in primarily to shoot from deep, and he's 4-10 so far. So whomever we deem as our best perimeter defender should be on Pack. I'd expect them to go into Sanogo to get fouls.

That said, I'd say that given their defense, UConn should be able to get plenty of open looks. If they make 'em, it's a win. If we're cold, could be in for a long night. Miami is averaging 80 pts in the tourney, again, a hair above their season average. If somehow they score 80 on UConn, my feeling is that it will be because UConn is putting up 90.
