A tough matchup for Missouri, a guard-oriented team against a physical Miami frontcourt that pounds the basketball down low. Missouri's offense is 12th in the 16-team SEC on scoring, 11th in turnovers, and 15th from the line (68.6%). The Tigers are on a 0-3 SU/ATS run, even losing at home to Arkansas (88-84) as a favorite, allowing 49% shooting. Miami has been impressive under first-year head coach Jai Lucas, with size and experience behind 6-9 senior Malik Reneau (18.8 ppg, 6.6 rpg) and senior guard Tre Donaldson (16.5 ppg, 5.8 apg). They're No. 1 in the ACC (and 12th in the nation) in shooting (50.1%), plus fifth in the conference in scoring (81.9 ppg), while the defense is fifth in points given up (71.2 ppg). The wagering value is on the ACC to win the game. Play Miami on the moneyline.
