The tournament, the basketball bible states, is about seniors and point guards.
On Saturday, two senior point guards, similar in stature and both regarded as pick-and-roll wizards, are on the job against each other. Wichita State’s Fred VanVleet and Miami’s Angel Rodriguez are completing superb college careers, one of which will end on Saturday afternoon at the Dunkin Donuts Center.
No. 11 seed Wichita State (26-8) plays third-seeded Miami (26-7) in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The winner advances to Thursday’s Sweet 16 game against either seventh-seeded Iowa (22-10) or 10th-seeded Temple (21-12) in Louisville, Ky.
