This is a gem in the rough. Miami lost to BC by 4 eariler this year at home. Miami might be one of the most underrated teams in the ACC this year with not many people talking about them. This team is in the top 30 in PR on the road and have had some big wins including a 17 win over GT on the road, a win agaisnt Wake Forest at home, beating Maryland at home and beating FSU on the road which is a tough feat. This team is now playing BC again on the road. This team comes off 2 straight losses to both North Carolina schools and now need to step up to get a much needed ACC win. I don't think they win tonight, but I certainly don't think they should be laying 7.5 points much like Clemson just the other day and they should cover. Anything can happen in college hoops but Miami is a better team than Clemson - which explains them beating them by 24 at home - and should be just as competitive. Yes, Boston College is 10-2 at home. However, they beat Drake by just 3, Clemson by 6, GaTech by 2, FSU by 3 and lost outright to UNC. Keep in mind that Miami had beaten UNC on the road this year, beat FSU on the road and also beat GTech on the road as well - not to mention beating Clemson by 20+ at home. This is the ACC and I think the rivalry heats up to a close game. Three stars on the Canes.
