CBB | Miami 89 @ Houston 75 | 03/24 | 11:15 PM UTC
Miami +7.5 -110
WIN
ANALYSIS: Was hoping for 8 but guess not (is up at DraftKings). Really don't get this number. Houston is excellent, but by his own admission star guard Marcus Sasser isn't 100 percent and the team has been rather blah since the AAC title game. Miami seems to be disrespected left and right (only -2 vs. Drake? +1.5 vs. Indiana? despite sharing the ACC regular-season title -- granted, that league was down this year -- and having one the country's top backcourts led by ACC Player of the Year Isaiah Wong. It's as good as Houston's. The Cougars certainly should be favored but are 2-6 ATS in their past eight. I expect a fairly close game even though most models disagree with me.
