Miami Hurricanes vs Houston Cougars Preview.

The Miami Hurricanes are set to take on the Huston Cougers in the Sweet 16 Friday Night. Miami is coming to a huge and dominating win in the round of 32 against Indiana in a game Miami jst flat out outplayed Indiana for 40 minutes. Miami has proved the NCAA Got it wrong by seeding Miami 5th.

Huston on the other hand hasn't looked great in their first two games of the NCAA tournament squeaking by 16th seed NKU and then winning a back-and-forth game against Auburn. Huston is going to have to get back to playing like the Number one team in the Country if they want to pull out a win tonight and make it to the Elite 8.

Betting on the game! (Huston -7.5)

Huston has clearly been the better team all year long, and if this were a regular-season game, I would say take Huston and give up the 7.5 points all day long. However, we are talking about the NCAA tournament, and I think Miami is going to show up ready to play coming off their dominating performance against IU. Miami now believes they belong where they are and have shown they can play with anyone in the country. Not only do I think Miami will cover the 7.5 points in this game I think they have a real shot to take home the win. As long Isiah Wong keeps playing like one of the best guards in the country for Miami, they have a real shot at a final-four appearance. The best bet here is to bet Miami to cover and take the 7.5 points.

Money Line (Miami +250) 

Look I wouldn't bet the house on Miami to win this game, in fact, they are going to have to play one of their best games of the season to pull out the win tonight. Miami has shown throughout the season they are a very good team and I personally think they match up very well against Huston. There is no better time to get risky with your bets than the NCAA tournament because crazy things happen, and I think tonight we get one of the biggest upsets of the tournament.

Im going to stay away from the over-under in this game. Statically looking at these two teams and their scoring capabilities over the season they are certainly capable of combining for 138, however, we have to take into account this is the NCAA tournament and games are usually lower scoring as both teams will try to control the tempo of the game. If you are inclined to bet the o/u in this game I would advise betting the under as I think we see a close 65-63 game.
