Miami averages 82.2 points per game with 50.7% shooting and 42.3% from long range, and they defensively allow 71.8 points on 42.6% shooting and 26.5% from long range. UC Irvine Anteaters have a power ranking of 120 and are #142 in offense (scoring an average of 76.50 per game), #73 in defense (allowing an average of 66.40 points per game) and 6-4 overall record, with South Dakota going 1-0 (1-0 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against UC Irvine.

La Salle Supporters Optimistic for Victory or Cover Against Miami

La Salle's impressive guard play, headed by Brantley and Brickus, offers a promising possibility for a victory or at least a cover against Miami. La Salle is talented and experienced enough to control the pace, and their smaller size will not impede their board play. Rokas Jocius (6-10, 260) will be an advantageous presence in the post, having achieved double digit rebounds against Duke and Temple. Miami's recent record is in La Salle's favor - they have only covered once in their last four games, and are 1-2 as a double-digit favorite in their previous three matches.
