Prediction

Miami has become a difficult team to figure out this season. After losing four out of five games, the Hurricanes won games they needed to at Notre Dame and versus Pittsburgh. Miami did not cover a 5.5-point spread versus Pittsburgh, but did cover at Notre Dame. The spread is a tough bet at North Carolina State.

Miami at North Carolina State should be a close game that can go either way. The best bet is the over. Miami and North Carolina State both like a fast pace. Miami and North Carolina State combined for 164 points in an 83-81 overtime win for the Wolfpack last season.

Miami starts a very difficult February versus Virginia Tech at home on Saturday. The Hurricanes earned a 75-71 win in Blacksburg earlier this month. Miami needs to go on a run, earn some quadrant one wins and improve their NCAA Tournament resume. Miami is currently 62nd in the NCAA NetRankings.
