Miami at Georgia Tech

Miami is in desperation mode right now. They sit firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble. They have a very healthy RPI which will help them, but at 17-10, and just 6-8 in the ACC, there is much work to be done. A loss tonight and they might kiss their hopes good-bye. It has been a bad year for Georgia Tech as they stand at just 1-13 in the ACC and their season is a bust regardless of what happens tonight. The Hurricanes have competed well, losing five of their eight losses in the ACC by five points or less - three of those five were OT losses. Tech has now dropped seven straight in the ACC. They have also lost four straight ATS and are just 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games, so they have been as bad as they look. I like Miami to win this one convincingly, and a win vs. North Carolina Sate in their ACC finale could see the ‘Canes climb to 19-10, and 8-8 in the conference, and be looking good for the tournament.
