My favorite play tomorro

I was ecstatic to bounce back yesterday with the Cougars after my friend Ryan was wrong about his Orange squad for once. I will never again take a another's pick as my own. I'd rather be wrong on my own terms and learn from it.

North Carolina has always struggled away from home against the better defenses in the conference.  They lost 75-63 at Georgia Tech, barely survived overtime at Clemson, lost at Miami by 15, lost at Duke by 8 and lost at Virginia by 10. I don't see a reason for that pattern to change here. I would say that Miami has been at least as competitive as UNC on the road, who has as yet to earn a quality win away from their home court, and it's their superior defense that allows them to travel well. I also like their confidence shooting-wise. The first time they lost to Cuse, their coach said that they just needed to be more confident, and just catch and shoot instead of hesitating. They made a statement behind the arc in the first half yesterday. I like them to continue confidently against UNC. And they're in a good spot to do so. Underdogs that had just played a game the day before have done relatively well against favorites coming off a break in the first half. We saw that with Clemson against Duke, Pacific against Gonzaga. Given Miami's defensive prowess, I think they have a solid chance to cover the 8 for the whole game, but I'd rather take them for the 1H where I know that they'll still have gas in the tank.  To find the last time where Miami has trailed by more than 3 at half, you'll have to go back to their road game in January where they gave up a for them absolutely exceptional 96 points at Wake. While UNC has consistently struggled against good defenses, shooting 21/60 at Miami and 24/72 at Georgia Tech, I think rather than expecting UNC to come out shooting on fire, it's likely more probable that Davon Reed plays a better game, having gone just 2/8 from two and 1/4 from three in the first game against UNC, despite normally shooting 40% from three and 47% from two.

Waiting for the public to bet this up to 8 or 8.5, hopefully. Then I think Miami 1H will be worth backing.

BOL

I'm tailing you, you're a very good ACC capper.

I took UVA -9.5 and Washington State +10 which were both winners yesterday thanks to you.

The Cougars should have won straight up as they were dominating Colorado in the 1st half but they collapsed after halftime.

BOL!  Great work on your efforts, like your insights
