Miami vs. Boston College Prediction
Miami began the season ranked 13th in the nation after a run to the Elite Eight a season ago.
The Canes got off to a hot start and saw themselves ranked eighth in the nation on November 28th.
It has been a free fall since for the Canes.
Miami was last ranked on Christmas Eve, as they have struggled since conference play began.
The Canes' 6-14 conference record is the second-worst in the ACC.
Miami lost nine games in a row to close the season.
Junior Norchad Omier leads the Canes with 17.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.
Atlanta, Georgia, native Matthew Cleveland has added 13.7 points and 6.1 rebounds.
Wooga Poplar has averaged 13.4 points and 2.2 assists.
Freshman Kyshawn George is slated to be a first-round pick in this year's draft.
One important thing to keep an eye on is the status of veteran guard Nijel Pack. Pack did return from injury on March 6th against Boston College but left the game with a knee injury. He is listed as questionable.
Miami's offense averaged 76.1 points while allowing 73.1.
Boston College rolls into this contest with a record of 17-14.
The Eagles went 8-12 in ACC play.
There were little to no expectations for this BC team entering the season.
BC ended the season winning back-to-back games, and they will attempt to use some of that momentum today.
The Eagles swept the season against Miami, including a 67-57 win at Miami less than a week ago.
Senior Quinten Post leads the team with 16.6 points and 7.9 rebounds.
Louisiana native Claudell Harris Jr. has averaged 13.3 points and 3.6 rebounds.
Junior Jaeden Zackery leads the squad with 4.3 assists per game.
Boston College's offense has scored 74.8 points while allowing 73.1.
Miami vs. Boston College Pick
We have seen this line continue to move in the direction of the Canes.
Miami is a dangerous team coming into this tournament.
I understand that they have been ice-cold lately, but from a talent standpoint, they can compete with anyone in the conference.
I would be shocked if BC swept Miami today, and we will trust the Canes to take care of business in round one.
