Despite UConn's status as a healthy 7-point favorite for tonight's National Championship Game, the matchup with San Diego State could prove tough for star guard Jordan Hawkins. Find out how in _ChrisHatfield's spotlight picks below.
This is not for the weak-hearted, but it's the right side. The most mystifying thing about the Florida Atlantic game is how oftenunderscreened. Doing it directly led to a hot shooting performance from the Owls, forcing the Aztecs into a frantic, late comeback.
SDSU underscreened some in the tournament but not nearly to that degree against previous tournament opponents. Its heavy ball pressure against Alabama and Creighton led to both teams going well below their season average from three, hitting five combined threes on over 40 attempts. I suspect you'll have more of those defensive coverages tonight.
It's worth noting that the Aztecs are 8-0 against teams with a 3-point rate of 44% or higher and this isn't by mistake. Dutcher's defensive pressure in the backcourt has done two things in this tournament: negate the size difference most teams have inside and run teams off the 3-point line. They're exceptionally good at taking one thing away. They'll concede Sanogo scoring inside if the tradeoff is limited production from beyond the arc.
