More About Auburn
Collin Wilson: Bruce Pearl led Auburn to the SEC Championship thanks to one of the best duo of bigs in the country in Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler.
The Tigers were close to a perfect season, losing twice in overtime and on the road to Arkansas and Florida by a combined six points. As a top-10 defensive team in the nation, Auburn has crushed half-court offenses that are heavy on cuts and attacking the rim. Pearl prefers the Auburn offense works with off-the-dribble 3-pointers, taking that shot at the fifth-highest rate in the nation.
If there’s an Achilles’ heel to this team, it’s free-throw rate. Auburn is one of the worst fouling teams in the country.
If an opponent can keep the Tigers off the glass and hit free throws, Auburn will struggle to reach New Orleans.
More About Miami
Kody Malstrom: The ACC darling of the year. The Miami Hurricanes went from under the radar to exploding onto the scene and captivating the public’s hearts by taking down Duke and North Carolina in a span of 10 days.
Too bad it didn’t last, as Miami came crashing hard back to earth due to its poor defense. Like UNC, Miami relied on its offense to out-shoot opponents and pray to the high heavens that its defense could do enough to help it get the win.
Still, this is a formidable offense that possesses the power to shine. The Canes are led by Kameron McGusty — who averages 17.5 points per game — and Isaiah Wong — who hauls in another 15.5.
The Canes are unpredictable and own a suspect defense.
