The Miami Hurricanes and the UCF Knights meet in college basketball action from the Addition Financial Arena on Sunday.

The Miami Hurricanes will look to build on their 79-56 win over St. Francis-Brooklyn last time out. Isaiah Wong leads the Hurricanes in scoring and assists with 14.3 PPG and 3.8 APG while Jordan Miller has 13.7 PPG with 6.5 RPG. Norchad Omier has 14 PPG with a team-high 10.2 RPG to lead the Hurricanes on the glass by averaging a double-double per game and Nijel Pack has 12.5 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Miami so far this season. As a team, Miami is averaging 76 PPG on 47.1% shooting from the field, 33.3% from three and 72.7% from the foul line this season.

The UCF Knights will try to build on their 76-56 win over Evansville last time out. CTaylor Hendricks leads the Knights in scoring and rebounding with 15.8 PPG and 7.3 RPG while C.J. Kelly has 11.3 PPG with 2.5 APG and Ithiel Horton has 10.3 PPG with 3.5 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for UCF so far this season. Jayhlon Young also has a team-high 4 APG up to this point in the season for UCF. As a team, UCF is averaging 71 PPG on 42.3% shooting from the field, 36.6% from three and 73.8% from the foul line this season.

Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Sunday games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. UCF is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

I get the case to be made on either side in this one, but I’m going to side with the under. UCF normally plays that low-scoring, slow, defensive style and Miami is more than capable of putting points up, but we’ve seen more often than not last season that Miami can play in a lot of low-scoring and slow, defensive battles as well. I think this game is similar to what we saw from UCF against Oklahoma State, a first to 60 or 65 wins kind of game, so give me the under.
