There probably aren’t many people who correctly predicted the way this bracket played out here at the end. I doubt many have Texas Tech and Virginia playing in the National Title game, but aside from Virginia’s obvious struggles last year this matchup makes a lot of sense.
Basketball is about dictating the game, the pace, the style of play. The team that wins the battle usually wins the game. When everything else is the same it generally comes down who can make shots at the right moments.
Last night Virginia played Auburn. Auburn likes to play a faster pace and shoot a lot of three point shots.
