(NCAAB) Miami vs. Kansas State,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -110.00 Miami (Away)
Result: Win
Miami is coming into this game with a 4-0 record this season and they have picked up right where they left off last year. They are only returning around half of their team from last season and did lose their leading scorer in Wong, but they also replaced that loss with some good quality players in the transfer portal and have some solid recruits from the 2021 class. They have also been very hot in their games this year with 3 of their 4 wins coming by double digits, all 4 wins coming by 8 points or more, and they are coming off of a win against Georgia by 11 points which was at a neutral location. They are going up against a Kansas State team that is 3-1 this season and they are returning less than 35% of their team from last year. They lost their leading scorer from last year Markquis Nowell to the G League and also lost their 2nd leading scorer Keyontae Johnson to the NBA. They have also struggled more this season as they already have a double digit loss to USC in their 1st game of the season. Even their wins have not been great as they have an 8 point win at home to Bellarmine, a double digit win against South Dakota State at home, and they are coming off of a close 3 point win against Providence at a neutral location. Miami has more talent than Kansas State with the players they have lost and Miami also did a much better job replacing their key players lost. Miami will cover the spread in this game.
