The team comes in after making a run to the Final Four last season and they will rely on Ron Baker and Cleanthony Early once again and they have been their two best players and this comes after a tough matchup earlier in the season with Missouri State. Baker and Early each had 17 points in the game on Friday and before that they were huge in the matchup with the team and in their last game the Shockers set a mark with 11 blocks and that puts the team in great position to win on Saturday.
Fred VanVleet had nine points, five assists and four steals in the game and he has been excellent and the win was over Evanston and now they come in at 32-0 overall this season and the team is averaging 75 points per game and they are 27th in the nation in rebounds per game and they could be the dark horse in the country. The team is 13th in the nation in points allowed this season and they are 20th in rebounds per game and in the top 30 in blocks and that is one reason they are undefeated, as their defense has been stellar overall through the season.
