Texas is not nearly as good defensively versus Houston. Miami is averaging 79.4 PPG this season and Texas 77.9. Miami allows 71.7 points per game and Texas 67.3. Miami shoots 48.2 percent from the floor this season and 37.0 percent on three-point attempts. Miami has shot the ball well in the last two games.
After eliminating the leading scorer nationally on Friday in Maddie Siegrist of Villanova, Miami faces Angel Reese of LSU who is second nationally averaging 15.6 rebounds per game. Miami will need a team effort on the boards led by Lola Pendande to neutralize Reese. Destiny Harden and Pendande need to stay out of four trouble.
Miami social media praise with men and women in Elite 8. dark. Next
Sunday is the biggest day in the history of Miami basketball. After the men tip off at 5:05 PM ET, the women will begin at 7:00 PM. There might be some overlap. Miami will attempt to become the 11th program to have its men’s and women’s programs make the Final Four in the same year. Texas did it in 2003 and LSU in 2006.
