The No.9 seed BYU Cougars take on the Miami Hurricanes at the Terry's Chocolate ESPN Events Invitational on Thursday at State Farm Fieldhouse.
Current Form:
BYU has won four of its first five games of the season to earn a top-10 spot in the current NCAAB rankings. The Cougars have recently ended Wisconsin’s spotless run, beating the Badgers 98-70 behind stellar play from guard Richie Saunders. Saunders, who averaged 20.8 points and 5.6 assists per game this season, knocked down five of his nine three-point attempts and finished with 26 points to lead BYU in the win over Wisconsin.
The Hurricanes rolled into their fourth win of the season after blasting Delaware State 97-41. Malik Reanu scored 24 points, and Tre Donaldson posted 21 to spearhead Miami’s offense, which converted 61 percent of the total field goal attempts. Miami will be taking on its second-ranked opponent this season and first since falling to the defending champion, the Florida Gators, 68-82, a week ago.

Our Miami Hurricanes vs BYU Cougars Prediction
Fearless Forecast: I am taking the Hurricanes to cover the spread at +8.5 points. Miami is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games and 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games against an opponent in the Big 12 conference. I also feel they will be more prepared to take on a much-favored team this time around after that heavy beating they received at the hands of the Gators. Miami also has several athletes on its lineup ready to contain BYU’s main man, Richie Saunders. And although I still believe the Cougars will come away with the win in the end, the ‘Canes are good enough to hang around with the No. 9-ranked team in the nation down to the final buzzer.
