Miami vs Duke Stats

Miami Hurricanes

Miami-Fla. has had a difficult start to the season with a record of 4-12 overall and 0-5 in the ACC. After head coach Jim Larranga resigned, the team has struggled under new leadership from Bill Courtney. Injuries have also played a role, with leading scorer Nijel Pack out indefinitely. Offensively, Miami shoots well from the field but struggles from beyond the arc. Defensively, they have been lacking, allowing opponents to shoot at a high percentage. With a power ranking of 275, Miami ranks 124 in offense and 289 in defense. They have a record of 4-12 this season and have not performed well against the spread.

Duke Blue Devils Analysis

Duke's 6-9 freshman player, Cooper Flagg, is exceeding expectations and leading the team to success with impressive stats. The team currently holds a record of 14-2 overall and 6-0 in the ACC, with strong performances in both offense and defense. Flagg's standout performance in the recent game against Notre Dame set an ACC record for a freshman with 42 points. The Blue Devils have won 10 consecutive games and are ranked 2nd nationally by KenPom, showcasing their dominance on the court. Additionally, Duke's well-rounded team includes freshman wing Kon Kneuppel, who adds valuable contributions in scoring and assists. With solid shooting percentages and strong defensive stats, Duke is a force to be reckoned with in the college basketball scene.

Duke's Dominant Team Expected to Prevail Against Miami Despite Interim Head Coach

Duke's current team has shown strong performance in covering spreads, with four out of six games being successful. Despite not covering against Notre Dame, the team has key players like Kneuppel and Tyrese Proctor who are expected to excel against a weak defense. Miami faces the challenge of playing in a demanding environment with an interim head coach against a dominant Duke team. Additionally, Duke holds a significant advantage in rebounding. Despite the exceptional performance of Flagg in a previous game, it is unlikely for them to replicate such high scoring. The upcoming game may prove Duke's worth, as they have demonstrated a solid track record of success.
