Final Four vs. UCONN - 4/1 8:49pm EDT on CBS

We will be favored in the championship if we get past UConn. And that would have to be a first whereby a team is an underdog in 3 straight games before being a favorite for a championship.

UConn can match our athleticism while being noticeably taller. They’ve lost some games this season that make you scratch your head, they’re just playing their best ball of the year by far at the right time. But so are we. I see it going down to the wire similar to the Texas game.

There's not a team in the country that can match our athleticism, guard play, or shotmaking.

We actually match up well with UConn. Texas and Houston were worse matchups and we handled those. UConn has struggled vs high level guard play.

I agree with you. I just watched UCONN highlights and Miami will win this game. They just won't be able to handle Miami's athleticism.

I kinda think you are being a little overzealous in your interpretation but I have not been able to watch them yet. Our speed works when we can transition off turnovers so we have to hope their ball handlers are suspect.

Of course I'm a homer, but I actually watched all the UCONN highlights I could find and I just think our athletes are better. Our guys jump off the screen when they're on and UCONN's not as much. I actually liked Xavier better then UCONN and I didn't even realize they beat UCONN twice.
 
UConn has 4 of the 5 highest rated players (coming out of HS) in the Final 4. The 5th is our Guard Beverly.

Whats up with Beverly? Did he take a step back, when he is in game seems like you are just holding water for guys to get a breather and hoping he dont **** up..

Well we better just hope their shooting percentages are not like Texas. They were just red hot. The thing that worries me and I have not looked at UCONN yet they close out their games with a vengeance. But so do we in a few games. it’s gonna be a war this is UCONN we got keep our big boy pants for this one period…end of story.

They've had some high percentage shooting games, but a lot of that is no one controlled Sanogo underneath and he inflated their percentages. A lot of their sub 30% 3pt. shooting games, and losses were due to pressuring the guards with athletes like we've got and harassing Sanogo into 40% fg%, not 70%.
