Miami Offense Looks to Continue Success

The Miami offense has been quite impressive to start the season and they are going to look to continue that success here. Miami in the last game faced off against Coppin State and they scored 93 points on the way to the 30-point victory. The Hurricanes as a team shot 56.3 percent from the field and 51.9 percent from behind the three-point line. There were six different players that put up at least 10 points. A few games ago against FDU, Miami scored 113 points on the way to the win. Miami is averaging 98 points while their defense is giving up 66.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league while the defense is ranked 102nd. In this game, I would expect they will try to push the pace. Miami will meet Charleston Southern, Arkansas, Clemson, and Tennessee after this game.

Why Miami Will Beat Drake

• Miami (FL) has won eight of its last nine day games against non-conference opponents.
• Drake has lost the first half in three of its last four games.

Can Drake Make A Statement? 

Drake Has Won each of the first three games but they haven’t been exactly dominant. In the last game against Florida Gulf Coast, the offense scored 63 points and they only ended up winning by two points. Bennett Stitz had a strong game, putting up 25 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. There were three different players that put up at least 10 points to pace the team. Drake overall is averaging 74 points while their defense is giving up 51 points per game. The offense is ranked 241st while the defense is ranked 3rd. In this game to find success, they are going to need the defense to step up here. 

Miami vs Duke Prediction

Drake is going to try and keep the pace down, but they aren’t going to find success in having it. Miami is averaging 98 points and they are going to push the pace here with the offense. Drake is giving up only 51 points per game but they aren’t going to find a whole lot of success here. Miami is going to put on a show with the offense, but their defense won’t be, and Drake will also find success. Back the over to cash here.
