Prediction
It’s hard to believe that a 31-1 team is a 7.5-point underdog to a team that went 8-10 in their own conference. That’s what we have on tap for Wednesday night in Dayton. SMU went 1-5 down the stretch and are just 1-5 in their last six games away from home. The RedHawks have a huge homecourt advantage here with their campus being only one hour away. Miami also has a bit of a chip on their shoulder as some experts believe they shouldn’t be here. SMU will win the battle in the paint, but Miami has enough offense to keep this close.
Pick: Miami OH +7.5
