Miami vs Notre Dame ATS Pick: Miami -4½
It is hard to figure out this Miami team as the Hurricanes returned four of the top six scorers off a team that made a run to the Final Four and added key transfer Matthew Cleveland. However, Miami has dropped four of its last five games, with two of those losses coming on the road.
This is a chance for Miami to build some confidence by picking up its second road win of the season, facing a Notre Dame squad that is one of two ACC teams with a losing record at home.
Miami vs Notre Dame Over/Under Pick: Over 140
Miami is rated 127th in defensive efficiency according to the Pomeroy college basketball rankings and the issues in recent games can be traced to the defense of the Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes are putting up 82.4 points per game. However, Miami has been held under 80 points in each of the last four games and, if not for the Wake Forest game going into overtime, it would be five straight games under 80 points. Keep that in mind when making best college basketball bets today.
Miami vs Notre Dame Player Prop Pick: Matthew Cleveland to Score Over 14.5 Points (-130)
Matthew Cleveland rebounded from scoring a season-low two games in a loss to his former Florida State team by scoring 16 points in Miami’s loss to Syracuse.
While it is troubling that he has gone two straight games without attempting a field goal, look for Cleveland to be producing early and often versus Notre Dame after averaging 16.5 points and 13 rebounds in his last two games against the Fighting Irish.
