Seahawks playing coach Tim Gainey said the combination of Scott Cuffe, Liam Norton and Nickolas Masunda scored between 75 and 80 per cent of Melbourne Uni's points.

The Warrnambool side goes into the three-game playoff with plenty of confidence after beating Melbourne Uni twice during the season - 72-67 at Warrnambool on May 15 and then 79-76 at Melbourne Uni on July 17.

In the first clash the big three shot 59 of 67 points or almost 90 per cent of Melbourne Uni's score with Masunda smashing down 28 points.

In the return bout at Melbourne Uni the trio managed 53 of 76 or almost 70 per cent of the team's score with Cuffe contributing 26 points.

"They've got three guys who can turn it on, they score 75-80 per cent of their points," Gainey said.

"Scott Cuffe is an overall player, Liam Norton is a big strong guard who bring the ball up and hits open shots. He was a Melbourne Tigers development player a couple of years back," he said.

"They also have Nickolas Masunda. He's very aggressive, gets to the basket, draws fouls and makes lots of free throws. He shot 28 points against early in the season."

Gainey said the big three would be aggressive and try to draw fouls.

"We are aware of how they play and we'll be focusing at training on how best to match that," he said.

"It's all about getting ourselves in the right position and not putting ourselves in the position of getting into foul trouble."

Gainey said the Seahawks had made a monumental climb up the ladder this season.

"We've basic gone from fighting relegation to making the finals. The big difference has been the inclusion of two players, Chad Yates and Bobby Cunningham," he said.

"They've brought us a lot of experience. Last year we didn't really have a big guy patrolling the middle. Chad's filled that void and he's a great rebounder. When you've got a 205cm guy standing in the middle to shoot over that blocks focus a bit."
