Georgia Bulldogs
The Miami Hurricanes enter their toughest test yet as they travel to the Bahamas with an unbeaten record. Led by Wooga Poplar who averages 20.7 PPG, the Hurricanes have a dynamic scoring offense that averages 94.50 PPG and ranks 16th in efficiency. Matthew Cleveland, Norchad Omier, and Nijel Pack add 17.0 PPG, 15.0 PPG and 12.0 PPG, respectively, providing additional scoring support. Miami's defense is their area of greatest need, allowing 66.00 PPG and sitting at 100th in efficiency, but they restrict opponents to 37.59% field goal shooting, 54.55% free throws, 28.00% three pointers, 37.00 defensive rebounds a game, 9.00 defensive assists, and 17.00 turnovers. Facing Georgia, the 20th ranked team in the AP Top 25, the Hurricanes will need to use their balanced scoring and lockdown defense if they're to remain unbeaten.
