Normally not a preview guy, but as this is only the 3rd top-5 matchup in post-reformation history, figured I'd put a quick primer together.

First place I look is always P&R, and UConn is the best P&R D in the conference by a mile. Going to need a lot of things to bounce our way.

Maybe the top two are the best because they haven't played us yet.
Analytics are never wrong.

No, but analytics are used by Marquette to help them understand their own strengths and weaknesses and their opponents strength and weaknesses
Brilliant work by Paint Touches once again in previewing this game.

Especially when the team with the most points with no time on the clock is the only analytic that matters.

Read? Why?
Last three years there started out slow. Need to come out of the box strong for once. The chances of that are against that with that UCONN eFG% defense but that is what elite teams (1/2 seed) do. Play fast, hit treys, force turnovers.

Last year they missed early good looks and gave up two difficult three pointers as the dot clock expired. They need to make shots early today.
The UConn D vs. PNR was not to be dismissed.
