The Kansas native is also a reliable threat on the perimeter, shooting 39 percent from 3-point range. Braun is fearless when driving down the lane, using either hand to finish at the rim.

Sophomore forward Jalen Wilson logs 11.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. The Texas native has a nice touch around the rim and knows how to gain position when driving. Wilson has recorded back-to-back double-doubles for the Jayhawks, outmuscling players in the paint. In his last outing, Wilson notched 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Why Miami can cover
Sophomore guard Isaiah Wong is a smooth contributor for the Hurricanes. Wong averages 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and two assists per game. The New Jersey native is shifty when he attacks the paint, bullying his way through contact. Wong has notched 20-plus points in two of his last three contests. On March 18, Wong had 22 points and four rebounds.
Senior guard Charlie Moore gives the Hurricanes a floor general. Moore looks to set his teammates up but can also find his own shot.
