NCAA Showdown: Can Florida’s Power Outlast Houston’s Grit in a Battle of Titans?
Florida shoots even more 3s per game than Duke (27.5), but Houston has to try to keep that number down. This may seem counterintuitive to limiting Floridaâs big men, but it doesnât have to be. Houston needs to run Floridaâs guards off the line without committing too much help on drives to the basketball and pull-up 2s.
Will Richard and Alijah Martin could beat Houston with tough midrange jumpers and contested layups, but itâs the best of the poisons you have to pick against Florida. Houston has the defensive weapons to force Florida into tough shots. Florida can make those shots, but the Cougars have to live with the outcome instead of overreacting to good shot making.
