Miami Ohio Redhawks vs SMU Mustangs Point Spread Picks

Everybody is waiting to see if Miami Ohio can live up to its undefeated regular-season record, but the fact is, the Redhawks played an especially weak non-conference schedule. Mid-major conferences have trouble getting quality opponents because potential opponents fear that those matchups could hurt their chances of getting into the NCAA tournament. Nevertheless, the Redhawks will face SMU in the First Four, and they have lost eight of their past nine against ACC opponents. Miami is 0-4 ATS in its past four games, and after winning three straight by two points each, its luck ran out when it lost 87-83 to Massachusetts in the MAC championship game. SMU has five players averaging double figures, led by Boopie Miller (19.4) and Jaron Pierre (17.5). Miami has gone UNDER eight of its past 11 games, and SMU is 8-0 UNDER on Wednesdays. The Mustangs allow 43.0 percent shooting and 32.9 percent on 3-pointers. Take SMU and the UNDER.
