Their true shooting percentage stood at 57, indicating efficient scoring from all areas of the court.
The team also demonstrated a balanced offensive and defensive strategy last season. Averaging nearly 74 points per game is no small feat, and it was complemented by their distribution of the ball with over 14 assists per game. On defense, they were active in disrupting plays, averaging nearly 9 steals and over 3 blocks per game which speaks volumes about their defensive prowess.
Rebounding has been an area where Miami has shown consistency as well, pulling down approximately 28 rebounds per game. This tenacity on the boards will be crucial against Drake Bulldogs' squad that is known for its competitive spirit.
Turnovers were kept relatively low last season with just under ten per game; maintaining possession will be key in this upcoming contest to maximize scoring opportunities. The Hurricanes' discipline in avoiding personal fouls—averaging about fifteen fouls per match—will also be essential to keep their key players on the floor throughout the game.
Miami's performance from beyond the arc was modest with a three-point shooting average rounding up to seven made shots from distance each outing; however, they excelled inside with more than twenty two-point field goals made on average each game.
Playing at MVP Arena could offer an advantage for Miami as teams often benefit from familiar settings; however, both teams will undoubtedly bring their best efforts to this highly anticipated clash.
