The UConn Huskies are 40 minutes away from the program’s fifth national championship game. A frisky Miami team that has taken down plenty of giants on its way to Houston faces another one tonight at NRG Stadium.

Stat Comparison

Like the Gonzaga matchup, the Huskies face an opponent whose offensive capabilities match their own. The Hurricanes are fifth in KenPom in offensive efficiency and 104th defensively, whereas UConn is third and 11th, respectively.

Led by the dominant trio of Isaiah Wong, Nijel Pack, and Jordan Miller, the Hurricanes are a dangerous shooting team. They have a slight edge on UConn there and also in turnovers and getting to the free-throw line.

The Huskies take the edge in most of the defensive categories, though Miami does foul less on average.
