Hawaii: G Noah Allen

The Senior guard leads the Warriors in points, assists, rebounds, steals, and minutes played. At 6’7 he will be a handful for either Berry or Britt, though he will probably be guarded more by Jackson at the three.

He is also dangerous as the Heels have struggled lately against 6’7 forward/guards. Against Tulane Cameron Reynolds, a 6’7 guard, went for 21 points on 5-6 shooting from outside the arc. Gabe Levin, a 6’7 forward with Long Beach State, went for a double-double against the Heels. Allen could have a similar type night.

North Carolina: G Joel Berry II

Joel Berry II has been exactly what the Tar Heels have needed. He hits the three. He brings the ball up the court. He keeps the team rolling at a fast pace. He is the leader on the court. Berry II is leading the Heels in scoring and assists. His presence is one of the reasons the Heels have been so dominate this season.
