That Villanova team you cited was still a great defensive squad. This years Creighton also very good.
Miami is soft. I saw them in Orlando this year and they looked like the 2nd worst team there.
We win 80-68. Nice Final Four Jayhawks. Nice season.

We all know Self is going to play McCormack and going to play him a lot. He trusts the guy. Even if he didn't, though, the team still doesn't have a particularly good option to deal with Waardenburg (who can also score down low). Truly a matchup nightmare.
Miami is also miles better than they were in Orlando against Dayton. Like a completely different team. Larranaga has had them firing on all cylinders since they blew out fellow E8 UNC in January and also went into Cameron and shoved against Duke.
This is not the team we wanted to see here.
