Louisville 

Starting Five: Russ Smith, Terrence Williams, Francisco Garcia, Reece Gaines, Montrezl Harrell

Bench: Peyton Siva, Taquan Dean, Luke Whitehead, David Padgett, Gorgui Dieng, Terry Rozier, Donovan Mitchell, Preston Knowles, Earl Clark, Samardo Samuels

MVP: Russ Smith’s junior and senior seasons at Louisville were the stuff of college legends. He was electric.

That starting lineup will score in droves.

Miami

Starting Five: Shane Larkin, Jack McClinton, Guillermo Diaz, Sheldon McClellan, Darius Rice

Bench: Kenny Kadji, John Salmons, James Jones, Robert Hite, Malcolm Grant, Rion Brown, Tonye Jeriki, Durand Scott

MVP: Larkin, who might be the best under-six foot player we have seen in a long time at the college level.

Considering Miami’s basketball program really only became nationally prominent around this time, it’s not a bad squad.
