-Check the arc. For goodness sake, please. If you like Shooting Open Threes, you’ll love Playing Xavier. Miami lifts like they’re allergic to the paint; if Xavier loses this game, it will be because Miami shot 40 threes and got hot.
-Pound the paint. Xavier is 37th in effective height; Miami is 241st. Miami fouls a ton. Miami can’t defend inside the arc. It all adds up to Miami not being able to stop X inside. The Muskies had plenty of success against Illinois by working through the post, and I don’t see any reason that shouldn’t be the gameplan tonight.
