Miami Basketball Takes on Wichita State with Sweet 16 on the line

Wichita State is no ordinary #11 seed.

Coming off an impressive handling of the Arizona Wildcats (they led by as many as 24 in the 1st half), and heading into today's contest the #1 defensive team in the country per Kenpom, there is little doubt they pose an extraordinary challenge today (12:10 EST CBS).

Odds makers even have them a 2-3 point favorite Vs UM.

So what makes them so tough?

Well experience for one.

This is a team that has an outstanding back court in Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker.
