Miami vs Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 71, Miami 65

Moneyline

SEND.

This is a very small spread, and if Indiana (-130) wins it should cover. I’ll take the best value with a single basket rather than paying the extra juice on the money line.

Against the spread

LEAN INDIANA -1.5 (-115).

While this will certainly be a close game, Indiana has the advantage.

The Hoosiers are 3-2 ATS this season in neutral-site games, while the Hurricanes are 2-3 ATS in such games. Indiana is 2-1-1 ATS as a 1-2.5 point favorite while Miami is 1-1 ATS as a 1-2.5 point underdog.

Indiana really shows its advantage in Kenpom’s strength of schedule. The Hoosiers rank 11th in the nation while the Hurricanes rank 85. Despite similar records and seeding, Indiana has had a much more difficult road. Expect the Hoosiers to remain composed throughout, which is crucial to advancing in March.

Over under

BET UNDER 145.5 (-110).

The Under is 6-0 in Miami’s last 6 NCAA Tournament games and 7-2 in their last 9 neutral site games. For Indiana, Under is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win. The Under also scored in both teams’ games in the first round.

Both teams rank below 100th overall in pace in the Kenpom rankings. Expect a slower pace, as neither has been blowing up lately. The Under is 3-1 in Miami’s last 4 games and 2-1 in Indiana’s last 3.
