BetUS NCAA College Basketball Betting Odds: CLEMSON -8.5, Total 147
The Miami Hurricanes (19-7 SU, 13-4-2 ATS). On Wednesday night the two teams meet up again, this time at the Littlejohn Coliseum at Clemson. This Atlantic Coast Conference matchup begins at 7:30 PM ET.
In the BetUS NCAA college basketball betting odds, Clemson is listed as an 8.5-point favorite, with the total posted at 147 points.
Here are some of the trends as they relate to this matchup:
* MIA has won and covered four of its last five games
* MIA is 9-2-2 ATS in its last 13 road games
* MIA has lost four of its last six road games
* MIA has played four of its last six road games OVER the total
* CLEM has covered four of its last six games
* CLEM has played six of its last seven games UNDER the total
* CLEM has won its last five home games SU
* CLEM has covered four of its last five home games
* MIA has covered the last six meetings
* MIA has won six of the last seven meetings SU
* Four of the last five meetings have gone UNDER the total
* MIA has had the shooting edge in four of the last six meetings
* CLEM has made more three-pointers in five of the last six meetings
Miami is playing well, registering wins over Duke and Maryland. All of this has raised their RPI rating to #23, which gives them a much better shot at making the NCAA tournament as an at-large team.
Clemson laid an egg in its last outing, shooting 31% from the floor and 52% from the line in losing a nine-point decision to Purdue in the non-conference schedule, but no real marquee wins since ACC play began.
Revenge is certainly on the agenda, but the some of the Tigers' key players are not so super-hot right now. Terrence Oglesby, the freshman who started out hot from three-point range, is only 31% from beyond the arc in his last seven outings. James Mays, who was tabbed as a possible first-round NBA draft choice, has been in single digits in four of his last five games, with 35% shooting. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech.
We'll go with Miami to keep things close, so we grab the points with 'Canes, the 8.5-point underdogs in the BetUS NCAA basketball betting odds.
