We're going to get more into him.
Believe me, we'll be talking about him extensively.
But this is a really good team at protecting the rim.
They play connected on defense.
They just don't give you quality looks.
They put a hand in your face, and they force you to take difficult shots.
They have the seventh best effective field goal percentage defense in all of college basketball.
They only allow teams to hit about 30% of their threes, just 45% of their two-point field goals.
As a reminder, Duke hits over 60% of our twos.
So one of the key matchups in this game is, will Duke be able to hit twos, anything close to what we usually do?
Because UConn usually holds teams well below 50% on their two-point field goals.
And they do a nice job, by the way, of limiting the number of threes that teams take.
The last thing I want to talk about in the analytics
is a really weird thing and get ready for Bobby Hurley.
Sorry for Danny Hurley.
I can't believe I did that.
Get ready for Danny.
You know, it's because I'm thinking back to the 1992 game against Kentucky and Bobby Hurley playing great in that game.
That's why I said it anyway, get ready for Danny Hurley's head to explode because
UConn is terrible at fouling and terrible at getting fouls called on them.
