Rotation # 606
Miami +1.5 over UNC (win)
Miami struggled in the last few years of the Jim Larrangea era and seems to have finally found the competitive spark under first-year coach Jai Lucas. North Carolina is coming off an emotional home win at the buzzer against Duke. It’s hard to keep up the emotion heading out on the road against a team that you have owned for the last few seasons. The Canes should get Tru Washington back into the lineup tonight, giving the defense a boost. Miami has a size lead by Indiana transfer Malik Reneau. Ernest Udeh has been a beast on the glass and is a good shot blocker. The Canes have been great at the Watsco Center this year and could get a signature win. Take Miami.

Rotation # 619
Purdue +1.5 over Nebraska (win)
Nebraska has been the surprise of the BIG 10 this season. Head coach Fred Hoiberg has done a fine job. Purdue is coming off a closer-than-expected home win against Oregon in a game in which they did not look sharp. I still believe the Boilermakers have the more talented roster. Senior guards Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer are a handful to defend. Oscar Cluff and Trey Kaufman-Renn are another pair of seniors who clean up on the boards. The Boilermakers have been challenged a bit more with their schedule and have the veteran leadership to win on the road. Take Purdue
