ESPN.com writes of the Huskies:
For one of the country's 25 most accurate 3-point shooting teams, the Huskies don't shoot it very often: Just 30.8 percent of their field goal attempts this season were 3s. Then again, Northeastern did bury poor William & Mary beneath a 12-for-20 barrage in the CAA title game.
ESPN.com writes of Notre Dame:
You've seen the numbers, and you know Notre Dame's defense ranks outside the top 100 in adjusted efficiency, that the Irish don't grab offensive rebounds, and that those two traits are the opposite of almost every Final Four team of the past five years. We understand. But the Irish should have at least alleviated some of your fears this weekend -- if not because it beat North Carolina in the ACC title game, then because it held Duke, one of ND's only rivals for offensive brilliance, to 64 points in 66 possessions. Brey's team is so fluid on the offensive end that its defense merely needs to hold the line to ensure a win.
