Miami vs Presbyterian Prediction

I’m on Miami here. I get that the Hurricanes aren’t the most attractive pick in their current form, but the reality is that the Hurricanes are the more talented team and I just don’t see Presbyterian being able to hang around for a full 40 minutes. This is a must-win game for Miami to try to get the ship pointed in the right direction with conference play coming up fast. Give me the Hurricanes.
