Stonehill vs. Miami Prediction

I’m on Miami here. The Hurricanes have posted a couple of strong and dominant home court wins at times this season, but this is more of a fade of a clearly overmatched Stonehill team here, who has been getting crushed regardless of where they go to play this season. I look for this game to be no different so give me Miami.
