The saying goes that defense wins championships.
San Diego State guard Adam Seiko, left, and guard Triston Broughton talk during practice for their Final Four college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament on Friday, March 31, 2023, in Houston. San Diego State and Florida Atlantic play on Saturday. – Adam Seiko and his San Diego State teammates are ready from the moment the ball is tipped to stalk ballhandlers, make aggressive switches and close out hard on any shooter.“It should be a staple statement in every program,” Seiko said.
And that sets up best for Miami and Connecticut compared to San Diego State and FAU as the sport reaches its biggest stage“It's about when you can't get stops as a defensive team, do you have the firepower offensively to combat not having a great outing on the defensive end?" said Joel Berry II, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2017 Final Four during North Carolina’s title run and an ACC Network analyst.
Luke Hancock is linked to one of the outliers, having been named Most Outstanding Player of the 2013 Final Four in Louisville's later-vacated run to the trophy. That squad ranked No. 1 in defensive efficiency and seventh offensively , and Hancock appreciates the value of pressure defense after having played for Rick Pitino.
