Final Four keys

Keys to victory for each team:

Florida

“Keep the crowd out of the game. Fans will back George Mason if the Patriots have a shot at an upset.

“Use the inside game. The Gators have a huge size advantage.

George Mason

“Jai Lewis and Will Thomas, a pair of 6-7 forwards, must hold their own inside against Florida or the Patriots have no chance.

“Hit some 3s. Florida is holding opponents to less than 30 percent behind the arc. If the Gators maintain that pace, they’ll roll into Monday’s national title game.

LSU

“Let Darrel Mitchell run the show. The senior point guard has been superb and almost forgotten in the tournament play.

“Don’t let Big Baby cry. Glen Davis needs to get the ball in the paint consistently, the whole game.

UCLA

“A team filled with young talent and little experience needs some success early, to keep spirits up. An early LSU run could end this game quickly.

“Ryan Hollins, a 7-foot senior, has to play the game of his life. That means getting rebounds and making free throws after a horrible regional.
