Took a quick look at FAU's roster. I was expecting to see some local So Fla HS kids. Not the case. They've got a reserve from West Palm in their rotation, but that seems about it. Another program that seems not to covet local HS kids that much. Or, maybe the kids aren't interested in them. Either way, a bit surprising.
 

Jordan Miller, Miami​

Jim Larrañaga once again bemoaned the lack of national attention Miller gets after the Hurricanes beat Indiana convincingly Sunday night. Miller’s versatile offensive game makes him one of the toughest covers left in the tournament, and he’ll need a big day on the glass if the Hurricanes are going to keep up with Houston on the boards. Miami may be undersized, but Miller’s ability to play bigger against more imposing opponents is a major reason it’s still playing this late into March.


Marcus Sasser, Houston​

Sasser is one of the best guards in the country and an essential piece of Houston’s national title ceiling. That’s why the groin injury he suffered in the AAC tournament and then reaggravated in the first round against Northern Kentucky was so concerning. But the veteran guard scored 22 against Auburn despite second-half foul trouble, looking healthy and helping lead the Cougars to the second weekend. His shot-making is the engine of this offense, and Houston will need some big performances to get to the Final Four for a second time in three seasons.

UConn is a problem. Really well coached.
Sanogo is a load inside and maybe the best big man in college basketball (Eddy is too slow for my taste).
Lots of shooters
Jackson is a swiss army knife. He is their Jordan Miller.
They look and play like a bigger version of UM.

Hurley’s teams play hard for 40
Minutes and defend like crazy.

They can’t seem to get to the rim. If they’re going to have any chance of staying in this game, they going to have to start shooting lights out from outside the paint.
