This is an 8* play on the Stanford Cardinal.

Stanford and Miami are both competitive teams hailing from two of the stronger conferences in the country. If both teams were at full strength, this would be a tough game to call. The Cardinal though have been playing their best ball of the season in this tournament, and they've been far more impressive than Miami in my opinion. That combined with the fact that the Canes lost their starting center to a head injury, and guard Angel Rodriguez has missed the last three games with an injury. I think Miami is going to struggle to keep up with the Cardinal who have been shooting out the lights from three point range during the tournament. They hit a whopping 50% from beyond the arc in the win over Old Dominion. Senior guard Anthony Brown has connected on 6-of-9 from beyond the arc over the last two games, and leading scorer led all scorers with 24 points in the win over the Monarchs.

Take STAN.
