Dave Hyde, Sports Columnist: Miami 74, Connecticut 71
Miami won the ACC regular-season title and beat the first, second and fourth seeds in the Midwest bracket to reach the Final Four. Connecticut finished fourth in the Big East and beat the fifth, eighth and third seeds of the West to reach the national semifinals. Connecticut is a great 3-point shooting team and has a strong big-man rotation that could cause Miami trouble if center Norchad Omier gets in foul trouble.
