Clemson vs Miami (FL) bets bring in very good early Vegas College Basketball odds as the Wednesday night schedule only features a few ranked teams overall. In the case of Clemson, they are ranked 16th overall in the nation on the strength of an 11-1 record. The question is can the Tigers go on the road in a hostile environment and take care of business against Miami?
Clemson vs Miami (FL) bets headline a close spread this Wednesday night. Now, the Tigers go through a nasty three-game stretch that includes this road contest with the Hurricanes, then home to 9th-ranked North Carolina, and finally at Virginia Tech. We should find out a little more about the Brad Brownell coached squad as they journey through the ACC part of their schedule.
Yes, this post from X is half a day old but serves a message for Miami fans too. It’s a big night down there and that starts off with the ESPN. Now, Miami (FL) is 10-2 but their two losses were scary. One was a 22-point thrashing from the Kentucky Wildcats in Louisville. The other was a 27-point rout at a neutral site (Barclays Center). Now, the scene shifts to Miami. Can they have a better showing against a ranked team?
Naturally, some experts worry about both sides. Bovada Online Sportsbook weighs in with what should have been Miami being favored. Yet, Clemson is because of their stronger schedule. Granted, the Tigers have been better on the road. Their only loss to Memphis was by a mere two points. Then again, maybe Clemson warrants that -1.5 this Wednesday night after all.
Clemson vs Miami (FL) bets like the idea of rolling with Clemson at the reduced spread on Wednesday. At VegasBetting, we love risking the potential value for a Clemson road win here. Miami lives and dies by their starters while Clemson has a bit more depth. It is that depth which has worn down a team like the Hurricanes. Besides that, who on Miami (FL) can truly cover PJ Hall? Hall leads the Tigers at 20.5 points per game.
Currently, Clemson has a bunch of players in the six to eight point per game range that can explode on any given night. Miami (FL) simply does not have that. Again, the Hurricanes have four players in double figures compared to Clemson’s three. Again, the Miami bench scares few teams and especially ones that have Top 25 aspirations or the notion of staying there. Can Jim Larranaga spring a mild upset on Wednesday and get something from his bench?
Now, the point above is for emphasis. Clemson arguably has more to play for. Remember this Tigers team missed out on the NCAA Tournament last year then lost to Morehead State in a shocker. They want to make March Madness in the worst way. These two conference games would be huge resume builders in the grand scheme of things. Clemson lost a heartbreaker last season at home to Miami and remembers this well.
Most figure that we get another close but higher scoring game on Wednesday night. This game expects to be decided late especially if Miami (FL) cannot crash the boards enough and keep Hall and Joseph Girard from changing the game. Clemson’s guard play is underrated and even Chase Hunter has grown into his role as co-distributor of the ball. He can shoot three’s pretty good too. Take Clemson and the meager point spread here.
Clemson vs Miami (FL) bets ask what about the pesky over or under here? Experts know Miami can top 80 points easily at home. However, Clemson has shown the ability to score at or above 80 points on the road. Overall, both teams average 82+ points a night. Miami (FL) comes in at 84.7 points per game. Some of that has been against some less than quality opposition. Then again, any team can still say that this time of year.
Teams are getting in their groove here. Furthermore, even in that loss to Memphis, Clemson and their fellow Tiger opponents combined for 156 points. Guess what the over is for this contest? That’s right. It comes in at a lofty 154.5 points. With both teams likely to push pace and the Hurricanes more likely to attack the basket like Clemson does, expect much in the way of transition play.
College Basketball Betting Picks wonder about the Game Total. Taking a shot at the Over at 154.5 points is the bet we choose here. Again, there is little incentive to go up too much because it does seem the books may have this number very close to the money. Hey, sometimes they do get this quite right.
Yes, the Clemson vs Miami (FL) Bets take on a few more wrinkles for Wednesday night. For one, the race to 25 points in the second half for Clemson is interesting at -115. Keep an eye on what the Tigers come in for their Game Over. Bet the Over at 79.5. Some believe the Tigers are the ones that top 80 on Wednesday night.
NCAA basketball online betting sites get their ACC fill this night. Do not forget about the Virginia game against Louisville as well. It should be an exciting night even if some of the top schools are not playing each other.
We have only just begun in 2024. Good luck tonight on the hoops!
